We can also break down users by country. The largest contingent of Snowflake users are in Iran, which has been the case since the Mahsa Amini protests in 2022 1. The graph shows also a large number of users apparently from the United States, but we believe that may be partly the result of geolocation errors, and many of them are actually from Iran. After Iran, the countries with the most Snowflake users are Russia and China.

Haha, yeah I'm aware of exit nodes...

Dude, don't even ask, we are people, and we were born to talk and explain, and be curious!

Snowflake is a bridge, it helps people bypass restrictions applied by their governments/networks

Relay is a tor node/hop, this is what makes tor possible, be one of the nodes people's traffic goes through (without allowing them to access the normal internet) Doing this helps decentralization of the tor, and prevents big organizations from pinpointing users
