> Comcast Is Threatening To Cut Off Customers Who Use Tor, The Web Browser For Criminals

Uh, it's not "The Web Browser For Criminals". It's for people who want anonymity. And being slightly pedantic, Tor is also not a web browser. Tor Browser is.

I find it hilarious that they pitch Tor as for criminals, despite the US military being the largest backer (and source) of the Tor project.

It does start to beg the question of whether or not we can trust TOR. Personally, I'm far more interested in meshnets, and other encrypted networks now.
