 <h2>Why You Need Tor</h2>
 <hr />
-<p>Few issues affect the legitimacy of the Internet more than protecting
-people's personal data while they're online. Because the vast majority
-of Internet traffic passes along public routes, it is relatively easy
-for prying eyes to view the comings and goings of Internet users -- and
-even link some important financial or personal information to you. These
-snoopers can get their information almost anywhere. Like your Internet
-service provider. Or your favorite website, which may be disclosing your
-shopping patterns. Or maybe a politically rigid government is compiling
-a list of its citizens reading outlawed journals. </p>
 
-<p>These activities are commonly called "traffic analysis" and
-corporations, governments and other parties are becoming increasingly
-sophisticated at it. While these organizations remain vague in their
-intentions, their effect on Internet users is clear. For some people,
-this electronic spying is a nuisance that can affect their pocketbook;
-for others, it could jeopardize their personal security.</p>

-<p>Since 2001, the Tor Project has been developing free and open-source
-software that helps provide anonymity for Internet users. It works by
-allowing users to travel the web on a circuitous route on a set of
-servers positioned around the world.  When you use Tor, your route on
-the Internet is indirect, so snoops have a difficult time
-following your path and seizing vital information. Tor also has special
-functionality, called hidden services, that allows users to run
-websites without revealing their location.</p>

+increasingly sophisticated at it.</p>

+<ul>

+<li>Thieves, spammers, and phishers to launch progressively sophisticated and

 <p>Tor is compatible with different operating systems, such as Microsoft
 Windows, Apple Mac, and various versions of Linux. Tor works with most
 programs that connect your computer to the Internet.</p>
 
-<p>Today, Tor is used by hundreds of thousands of people to protect their
-activities online. These include journalists and human rights workers in
-politically rigid countries communicating with whistle blowers and
-dissidents. Law enforcement officers on Internet sting operations stay
-anonymous with Tor, as do people wanting to post socially sensitive
-information in chat rooms, like rape or abuse survivors and those with
-illnesses. The Tor Network also provides protection for people looking
-for another layer of privacy from the millions of websites bent on
-collecting private information and tracking their moves online.</p>
