A project providing "freedom", i.e. anonymity and circumvention for
"unfree" countries depends on countries, which are still "free". It
depends on countries where it is legal to host anonymizing proxies.

A new law proposing to make Tor and similar software illegal in US would
be a damn hard hit against Tor. And the other remaining "free" countries
can establish similar laws. No more "free" countries = no more Tor.
