Another group of people could very well choose to make a Tor website that delivers free puppies to lonely orphans. But while it’s true that this anonymity has led some people and organizations to set up shady websites that allow you to buy all kinds of illegal wares, that’s only because those people chose to use Tor to do that. This is a peer-to-peer Internet of anonymous, interconnected computers that make finding the true location or identity of a user virtually impossible.

The worst-case scenario is that ISPs block everything except the websites and services on their whitelist. ISPs throttle Tor, making it slower than it already is.There are 3 main ways this could effect Tor users in America:
Without Title II enforcement of Net Neutrality, American ISPs will be able to legally throttle or block access to any content they wish.

Title II allows the American FCC to enforce these rules on American ISPs. Net Neutrality means that all Internet traffic should be treated the same. While it could have an effect on American Tor nodes, the Tor network as a whole would be more-or-less just the same.
