- People who value their privacy (or “have something to hide”) have a need of a service that provides anonymity
- This turns said service in the ideal place to start any and all surveillance because your subjects have already self-selected for being “interesting” (especially if you intend to go after low hanging fruit)
- Therefore I must conclude that people using VPNs and TOR, no matter how legitimate their reasons, are in fact advertising that they have something to hide which current status quo is very interested in knowing…
