Free the Internet: The Tor Project's annual fundraiser (blog.torproject.org)

[dead]

Do these donations also support the operation of nodes? If not, how to support the network (other than running a node myself)?

[flagged]

I would throw some money each month at Tor if all the project did was provide a way to access the Internet anonymously, but I find it very difficult to support it, given that .onions are a thing and we all know what gets hosted there. I'll never run a node for the same reason, I don't want computers of mine to be used for CSAM distribution.

The ability to connect to the Internet anonymously is invaluable, but I consider the server obfuscation part of the project straight up evil. Which is unfortunate, they could've easily stopped at the good thing.
