Here is my idea:

In order to strengthen the diversity of Tor users and to emphasize a 
good use case of Tor and Hidden Services, we could promote it as an 
anti-corruption and crime reporting tool for law enforcement agencies 
and large corporations.


Here is the use case:

A law enforcement agency or a large corporation sets up a Tor Hidden 
Service like SecureDrop to enable secure reporting of corruption and any 
other serious and organized crimes.

Many large (multinational) corporations encourage their employees to 
report corruption, fraud and other forms of wrongdoing committed by 
insiders.

Also many governmental and public authorities as well as law enforcement 
agencies are interested in external and internal tips on corruption et 
cetera.

Sometimes, members of criminal groups engaging in organized crime want 
to exit those groups and end their own criminal career.

At the same time, insiders working for governmental and public 
authorities want to report cases of corruption to law enforcement 
agencies.

Therefore, a Tor and Hidden Services based reporting tool similar to 
SecureDrop could help track down and bring to justice criminals by 
providing a secure channel for people willing to report such crimes.


Here is my vision:

It would be amazing to see reconstructing and reframing the old and 
busted "Tor helps criminals" narrative into "Tor helps fight corruption 
and organized crime".

Apart from promoting the reporting tool as a real solution to law 
enforcement agencies and other interested parties, this use case 
highlights - as a side-effect - why we need Tor and Hidden Services for 
the good. This could contribute to a better image of Tor and Hidden 
Services in the media and the general public.

As a goal, the Tor and Hidden Services based reporting tool could become 
THE standard and state-of-the-art reporting tool for law enforcement 
agencies, governmental and public authorities and large corporations all 
over the world.


What do you think about my idea?
What do we need to realize it?

Your feedback will be very much appreciated.
