Stallman and tor

It is said Stallman did not go on the internet from his computer until he started using tor. Is this the reason https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/aug/01/data-browsing-habits-brokers?
Of course he was using the Internet. Stallman receives/sends *many* emails, what requires the Internet. You are actually talking about browsing the Web. Here is how he accesses the Web:
I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see git://git.gnu.org/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it (using konqueror, which won't fetch from other sites in such a situation).
I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that is enough to prevent my browsing from being connected with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods.

RMS was on the internet before most of us were even born.
I have used the Internet since it first existed. I never used UUCP, though occasionally I sent emails to addresses that involved transmission via UUCP.

Anybody interested in RMS's early history at MIT AI Lab should read this (from page 341 on).
