Using Tor is considered terrorist activity in France

Why couldn't the US just do the same?
Internet freedom and privacy needs not only needs protection by technological tools like Tor or VPNs, but also needs legal protection. Would anyone use Tor if the government starts raiding houses? Tor users are such a small minority that the government can easily throw you all in prison.
I’ve known about Tor since like middle school but have been scared downloading it will get me on some watchlist. Or at the very least, tracked harder whenever I’m not on a Tor browser for whatever reason.
I live in the United States of America. Tor was developed by my own country’s naval research laboratory.
I've heard that most Tor nodes are controlled by the US government and the whole system is basically a honey pot, so why would they worry?
nah not a honey pot at all.
That's exactly what a honey pot operator would say. 😛
problem is the government in the usa would never make it illegal to use because they built the whole system. They would be breaking the law themselves
