Can we trust the Tor Foundation?

tldr: The Tor Foundation can't be trusted, the Tor network however can be trusted so long as you use it properly.

No, or at least that's what their public relations are telling me. They've been pushing hard to turn Tor into something else than an actual darknet. They keep pushing to turn the Tor network into a VPN to access clearnet "privately or anonymously" which makes less and less sense as time goes on.

Tor should be used the same way I2P is, privacy and anonymity exist so long you don't touch exit nodes or outproxies, and it seems their effort is more aimed at making sure people do not make the network bigger but rather they just use it as a VPN proxy for clearnet.

On the topic these videos discuss, it seems like all of these issues have to do precisely with the misuse of Tor as a proxy/VPN solution rather than as a darknet, I got a small comment on the useragent spoofing thing, though, that one seems sketchy, really sketchy, and apparently everyone involved seems to be throwing back bullshit reasons to justify why not even general.useragent.override is working (as I realized a moment ago).
