It could be argued that all of Tor is a CIA honeypot. After all, they paid to develop it.


The Tor network is not and has never been designed to thwart a global network panopticon, as most (all?) low-latency mixer networks aren't. This is stated clearly in the Tor design spec. Choosing to frame this negatively (as a "honeypot") is a disingenuous characterization that only spreads FUD.
