#12Shallot donor means annual donations in excess of $100k USD. From the Tor website[0], it appears Mullvad is the only donor in excess of $49k USD annually (and possibly the only donor above $10001 USD). [0] https://www.torproject.org/about/membership/
...besides the US Government, TOR's largest benefactor by far. In case anyone needed reminding.

#13Imagine using Mullvad VPN for entering Tor and realizing that your activity is transparent for Mullvad.
Given that they have literally switched their nodes to be diskless and released lots of their work to strongly disable logging in systems, that may be acceptable for most users. The risk model determines your behavior.
Yeah I’m not trying to hide from the law, I’m trying to get the airline to stop giving me weird price quotes and bbc to let me stream their shows.

It's a question if you'd rather your ISP see you using a VPN and Mullvad seeing you use Tor or your ISP knowing you're using Tor.

I'm not sure which page of the link above (the tax return) I'm supposed to look at... Where does it say the US govt is funding Tor, and if so, by what amount are they funding Tor?

I can totally imagine they're using Tor for some undercover (foreign) operations or similar. I don't think the US Government with all its branches is known to practise exactly what it preaches.

I think what you have identified is that the US government is not, in any sense of the word, an it.

Well I am. I have a right to. If you want to have plausible deniability when you inevitably must do something legally wrong but morally right, then you must always be hiding.
