The Tor browser

[Jehanne]

If you outlaw Tor , Tails , Veracrypt etc... You must outlaw playing cards because it can be used by ciphers like Solitaire.
What's Solitaire ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitaire_(cipher)
If you began to outlaw playing cards because cryptography is outlawed you must outlaw all things because all things can be used to crypt messages.
For example you can use your brain , one of your hand , pen and paper to write a message using an One-time pad.
Can we seriously consider to outlaw pen and paper ?
What's one-time pad (OTP) also known as Vernam cipher ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_pad

I agree, there is little rhyme and reason behind any kind of censorship, yet alone encryption banning. The criminals will use strong encryptions no matter the laws, and all those laws might do is to push people with radical ideas into darker corners of the Internet, where they can't hear the other side. However, the governments still do that, because the media keeps demonizing people who care about their privacy and, for example, use Tor. Perhaps the best thing we can do is to use Tor and not to hide that using bridges, since then it would become more obvious to the government agencies that many people use Tor for something other than criminal activities. Plus, using bridges might be unethical towards people who live under repressive governments and who actually need them. Croatian government isn't (in all probability) spying too much on its citizens and putting people under surveillance just for using Tor, so it's a good thing if more people here show they care about their privacy on-line by using Tor for everyday browsing.

Bridges are needed because some governments (such as China) actively block Tor entry nodes, and some ISPs do deep-packet inspection on entry nodes.  Better yet, volunteer your computer as being a middle-only Tor relay; easy to setup.  I was a Tor middle-only relay for 7 years until I dumped my broadband ISP in favor on just using Verizon as a hotspot for my Internet; am saving about 1.5K per year, but, alas, I can no longer run a Tor relay.
