The very first point of the social contract explicitely mention
“anonymity and privacy technologies”:

> > 1. We advance human rights by creating and deploying usable
> > anonymity and privacy technologies
> > 
> > We believe that privacy, the free exchange of ideas, and access to

This one comes first because it more or less restates Tor mission
statement. I'm left to wonder how you felt we put the concept of
anonymity aside. :)
