A more appropriate question to ask would be: "do the positive benefits of Tor deployment outweigh the negative effects?" The answer to this question is yes. Tor is about separating identity from routing information. It is the conflation of routing information with identity that has resulted in both (a) violation of user privacy and (b) development of systems that rely on fundamentally ineffective methods for achieving security. By bringing users and service providers to contend with the ultimate reality that identity cannot be derived from routing information, Tor addresses both (a) and (b), leading to enhanced privacy and more realistic security models.
