I have been examining the number of what would normally be deemed as illegal sites sites on Tor.  Eliminating the narcotics trade, as these tend to be intelligence agency backed enterprises, a serious decline has been noted across the board.

This would tend to suggest that exposure is common place and users no longer feel safe.  In the more serious categories, such as child porn and violent sexual material, no functioning open sites remain and many of the sites that require registration are crippled.  The entire planet has been scrubbed.

This, it would seem, indicates that Tor has been compromised on a global scale with very little fanfare or moves to correct the situation.

Does anyone have any insights into the problem?

Regards,

Mark McCarron
