Hey all. I’m collecting quotes of complimentary things our adversaries have said about Tor for possible inclusion on a t-shirt, and I would really appreciate your help. Roger got me started with a bunch of quotes below, but most of them are missing attribution. So if any of you have additional quotes and/or can add attribution to Roger’s quotes below, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks in advance for your help with this! Shari
Here are some:
- "Still the King of high secure, low latency Internet Anonymity" "There are no contenders for the throne in waiting" -- from an NSA or GCHQ slide deck in 2011
- "Tor Project staffed with smart people!" from the same slide deck
- "Tor is very good -- No passive exploitation :-(" from the same slide deck
- "TorButton: A Thorn in the side of SIGINT" from the same slide deck
- "Catastrophic: near-total loss/lack of insight to target communications, presence" refering to impact of Tor, TrueCrypt, and Tails.
- "Very naughty people use Tor" -- GCHQ, in a summary slide from a slide deck analyzing hidden service security (also "Near impossible to figure out who is talking to who").
There are a few more that I should hunt down, like a good quote about Tails, and something complimentary of Mike in particular. But maybe those will be a good start?
Hey all. I just found the slide deck for most of Roger’s quotes on the ACLU’s website. Still looking for additional quotes, though! Shari

Here's one; might be a bit long (or require its own t-shirt): "We need Tor so that journalists and other troublemakers can hold authorities to task. None of us should be afraid anyhow, but Tor makes it easier not to be." —Andy Bichlbaum, the Yes Men

From an old cybersecurity report by the Japanese National Police agency: http://www.npa.go.jp/cyber/csmeeting/h24/pdf/h24sousakadaiyoushi3.pdf Ｔｏｒはそもそも表現の自由等の保護のために開発されたものだと思いますが、 我が国において、Ｔｏｒを積極的に認めなければならない環境にはないのでは ないかと思っています。 (We) believe Tor was originally developed to defend freedom of expression, however (we) do not think that our country is an environment where Tor should be proactively recognized. (Pronouns are elided per Japanese grammar rules, so this may be "I" instead of "We".) There's a reason why I don't live there anymore... -- Yawning Angel
Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority (under Ministry of Transport and Communications) recommends Tor. And other privacy tools, such as OpenPGP, Signal and VeraCrypt. In short, use Tor to hide your communication and circumvent internet censorship. "We all have secrets." "Prefer encryption if you can."
