Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Wrong. The point of Tor is to be a force for ''good''. People use Tor for
 many unsavory things, but none of them have even remotely the destructive
 potential of fascism. It is unarguably evil, there is no literally no
 argument in favor of allowing them to use Tor to spread their violent
 speech others. I would propose, at a bare minimum, a torrc option allowing
 Tor relays to specify the addresses of .onion addresses that they do not
 wish to advertise via their relay. This way, Tor volunteers can at least
 decide for themselves that they do not wish to be complicit in evil by
 helping to spread fascism and hate speech.
