a significant amount of tor nodes are operated in some capacity by law enforcement (noticed how a ton of them operate within the Five Eyes) and a majority of web traffic originating from tor are malicious. torproject wants to label most of this as "just users browsing clearweb sites lol" but its obvious whats going on. 45% of all hidden services are related to black markets hacking and cp.

cloudflare in 2016 noticed 94% of all web traffic from tor was malicious

CloudFlare:
On the other hand, anonymity is also something that provides value to online attackers. Based on data across the CloudFlare network, 94% of requests that we see across the Tor network are per se malicious. That doesn’t mean they are visiting controversial content, but instead that they are automated requests designed to harm our customers. A large percentage of the comment spam, vulnerability scanning, ad click fraud, content scraping, and login scanning comes via the Tor network. To give you some sense, based on data from Project Honey Pot, 18% of global email spam, or approximately 6.5 trillion unwanted messages per year, begin with an automated bot harvesting email addresses via the Tor network.
