Table 2 (with Germany at the top) in [1] does seem to suggest that
“Privacy enthusiasts” represent a significant proportion of Tor users.
Perhaps a 2nd place is deserved (higher than the “Loonies”) in the
estimated breakdown above. I would also place human rights activists
somewhere at the bottom of the list. The “Militaries” section on the
“Tor users” page is most likely completely phony, though.
