The TOR project in it’s entirety was created by the CIA for secure communications. It’s public because no matter how secure, if only spies use TOR, then it would be easy to catch them.
I don’t mean to imply that TOR is insecure, it’s open source and the Government has an interest that it be secure. But if you’re going to annoy the US government, you better have good opsec because they understand TOR better than anyone.

NSA actually… no, wait, USNRL… not even a 3-letter agency… bizarre.
That’s just wrong but sure
There’s plenty of defcon talks given by the tor developers and Americas / fbis attempt to shut them down
That’s just bureaucracy in general. Left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing, until it receives an after action report, signed in triplicate, two months after that knowledge stopped being useful.
Aren’t the three letter agencies constantly bickering?
I love that “Sneakers” movie.
Kind of wild that the government wants to kill privacy online but still funds Tor.
They want to kill privacy for you. Their privacy is a matter of national security.
