Looks like it’s time for us to step up and fund what we like and use.

I’m surprised they were getting any government funding in the first place

Well they do need money and where else could that be coming from? Oh yeah, big tech corporations, not that much better

The internet as it’s been experienced by most living westerners is a product of a unipolar post Soviet world. Cryptography is widespread because it allows for transactions over a new medium.

Alternately, if you want to be crazy, https intentionally builds a web of trust too complex for users to interrogate and acme normalizes accepting new certificates without any real scrutiny and tor is only secure if the exit and entry nodes aren’t communicating or storing data.
