Tor's Fall Harvest: The Next Generation of Onion Services
I have mixed feelings about Tor. As a proxy to hide your IP address it makes perfect sense to me.But what's the end result of hidden services?I want to be anonymous sometimes but I can't think of a time when I want the host of a service I use to be anonymous.In most situations their identity is actually important to me. I want to know the source of news, to trust that I'm sending a message to the right person, to trust that I'm not relying on a site run by some kid in her parents basement.And I know that legitimate sites can get certs for onions these days (like facebook)... But doesn't that defeat the original purpose of running a hidden service if the purpose is to hide the owner?
