Replying to [comment:8 cypherpunks]:
> You just do not get Free Open Source Software, do you? Users own the
right to edit the software as they please. Tor Project has no ability to
control what sites people can host and access. Relay operators have no
ability to either. This is permanently baked into the design.

stupid idea, one very new person decided in haste, and doesn't speak for
everyone in the Tor community. Speech may be unpleasant, even "dangerous",
but it is still free speech.
The blog post is actually saying the same thing as you:
Tor is designed to defend human rights and privacy by preventing anyone
from censoring things, even us.
