    Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

    Operating nodes is expensive, offers no reward, and comes with a serious legal risk.

    This won’t stop the NSA from operating a few. I assume that a significant portion of Tor nodes is run by intelligence agencies. If they control all nodes used for a connection(i believe three are used), they can probably piece together what connections a user is having.

      It is expensive. And yeah, it might get you into trouble in some places.

      And yes, the glowies use it, but journalists and whistleblowers use it too.
