What is Tor Browser?

"The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

The Tor Browser lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained (portable)."

    So you are basically complaining that you got a Troll moderation instead of a Flamebait moderation?

    Everyone is being monitored by the authorities. Anyone who touches TOR, by their logic, must have something very bad to hide. Get yourself higher up their priority list and you can be sure they'll look much harder for even relatively minor evidence of potential thought crime with which to accuse you. They'll look harder at everything. Anything to get you for something in the name of safety. Better not make any minor mistakes on your tax return, for example. What a terrible work we have created for ourselves.
