Comment (by alecmuffett):

 ps: take care with that 95% number, though; at scale more than 99% of
 people are just normal users doing normal things, so it can lead to
 reportage of the "TOR USERS ARE 5x WORSE THAN NORMAL" selective quoting.

 The point is: there's a **lot** of legitimate Tor usage which is invisible
 to site administrators, and their perception of Tor is skewed by
 investigations of "bad people" who arrive over Tor, leading to negative
 confirmation-bias.
