 Replying to [comment:3 rl1987]:
 >  2. Users may not want to have their timezone information in the logs.
 Knowing timezone reduces uncertainty about geographic location, which
 might be dangerous for sensitive use cases. My proposition is to add
 `ForceUTCTimestamps` torrc option and to have it be enabled by default.
 The downside is that it might be confusing to users. Sounds valid?

 I opened ticket #18112 regarding this.
