Tor is a free browser that allows its users to navigate the internet, send instant messages and share content anonymously. Tor helps conceal a user’s location and navigation from anyone that is performing network surveillance, helping protect a user’s personal privacy. Nevertheless, the platform has been criticized for its use in illegal activities such as distribution of illegal content, selling of controlled substances or money laundering. The platform was first launched in the United States in 2002.
