It can also be used to protect anonymity of the users (which is good for journalists working in oppressive countries) as the computer that sends the data on the network is the proxy and it is very difficult for an outside agent to know which user connected to that proxy sent the data. The proxy may also be located in another country and be able to post to social media which is blocked in the country of the user.
