> Cloudflare (which was blocking Tor and users were rightly unhappy with this because saying you're a privacy oriented company and blocking Tor access was just not right)

Huge loss of credibility right there.

Me-as-CEO: We're shipping "only dozen or couple of hundred orders per month" and hemorraging money. We must prioritize.

CTO: Well you currently have no backups whatsoever.

Me-as-CEO: That certainly sounds like a priority. What do you propose?

CTO: Let's move away from one of the largest CDN in the U.S. to accommodate a potential Tor userbase

Me-as-CEO: Well, it's been great working with you.



Tbh, it was very easy to slip this one in if someone didn't pay attention as it was integrated with hosting provider at that time. I removed it inside something like month (aka when I got time from other more pressing deals).


Then you are a bad CEO not understanding your target audience


Since you can’t anonymously purchase anything from Purism I don’t think it was that much of an issue.

People aren’t going to use ToR to purchase a device from a store that collects PII that defeats the purpose of using it its right there with using ToR to log into your Facebook account.


Still, using tor will help prevent yet one more data point from being used to construct a character profile of you.

Between privacy and less privacy, I think the answer is always privacy.
