This is really not the place for a political argument.
If it were, i would be pointing out that aquiescence to
any existing regime *is* taking a political stance.

However, as noted on the Who Uses Tor page,
https://www.torproject.org/torusers.html.en
Tor is useful to people from all ends of the spectrum
including dissidents and governments.
Therefore it is not necessary to debate motives or politics
but rather to educate everyone about it
and further its development.
