[tor-dev] User perception of onion service discovery

[dawuud]

Plaintext communications intermediaries like tor2web violate the end
to end principle and the principle of least authority. If we as the
Tor community are committed to human rights then it follows we would
abolish terrible things like tor2web or at least frown upon it's use.

I am frowning so hard right now.


Sincerely,

David Stainton
