That is almost certainly true, there will be those who frown on Tor for a
variety of reasons

If true, that'd mean that some of Fox News' output is based on fact? Shaken

Seriously though, as others have pointed out, the Government has much
cheaper, much more effective ways of silencing opponents. Methods that are
used to great effect in many other countries.

I don't doubt that someone somewhere in an agency has probably looked at
whether advertising can be subverted, though I suspect it's far more likely
that they were interested in payload delivery and not attempts at mind
control.
