Re: [tor-relays] Is there a reason for all exit nodes being public?

This is exactly why I use Tor. 

I imagine a lot of people use Tor to bypass network restrictions, like school/University firewalls or counties like China and Pakistan.

As one of the Tor users who connects to services where I have to use my

snooping on what I'm doing, and it's possible some of these millions of
facebook users are doing the same.
