The Tor Project today put out a statement against online harassment, in particular the singling out of women: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/solidarity-against-online-harassment
It's worth a read, and I'm sure they would welcome comments from other communities.

Because of the recent possibility someone faked an IP to get an editor in trouble as a sock, I've been investigating how the heck they do it. I went to the Tor page and read enough to know I didn't have days and days to figure it all out. (Or to figure out if some banned editors or socks were paying $6.00 a month to use it to fake different IPs and fool the check user program.)
Reading the editorial I had to wonder if they actually are saying: "If we think you are using Tor to harass people, we will stop you?"
I'm sure lots of people would leave if they were. So I guess it was only a moral statement - and a great one!! - but just wondering...
