I know this is a quite old post I'm replying to, but I completely missed your reply.
It doesn't really. I don't think a possible security flaw becomes less important when you do legal stuff on the internet than it does when you do illegal stuff. It should be equally bad either way, and if you truly care about the existence of these flaws, then all you have to do is avoid them.
Tor browsing is often confused for illegality. I use Tor whenever I can - in fact, I use it more often than clearnet. In my honest opinion, the world would look much better if everyone took care of their own privacy and the govs didn't want to control and monitor everyone like the CCP does, but in a camouflaged way.
I bet you not even 1% of the Tor users are affiliated with CP in any way. In fact, most of the Tor users are not even using Tor properly so most of the CP addicts are being caught in the act quite easily if the authorities are willing to look after them. Your arguments remind me of the "I have nothing to hide" argument very often used nowadays, for which you may find
this Wikipedia page an interesting read.
I'm not even using TOR for the illegal side of it, by the way it is not tor's fault, to be honest. This is just the medium for everyone, so in existence, tor is not the issue. I'm honestly not that narrowminded as you think about this technology, I just wanted to make a clear statement that I hate CP'ers. I follow your opinion on the monitoring and controlling, as this facilitates the cause.
My first use of TOR was for searching academic papers in all honesty.
My statement was about not going on specific onion sites which are continuously being monitored and observed. But you're right it's just about avoiding the flaws, I'm into OSINT btw
