[tor-dev] Hidden service policies

[Tom Ritter]

One of my first concerns would be that this would build in a very easy
way for a government (probably the US government) to compel Tor to add
in a line of code that says "If it's this hidden service key, block
access."

After all - it's a stretch to say "You must modify your software to
support blocking things"[0] but it's not so much a stretch to say "You
already have the code written to block access to things, block access
to this thing."
