I read the replies and that page — guessed that “backdoor” is meant
metaphorically, but thought that perhaps there was an additional
technical aspect. What's written there is quite obvious — law
enforcement can serve anyone in its jurisdiction a surveillance order.
The IPs of Tor relays are known, so the owners of the relays in
question can be served with an order just the same. I don't see the
principal difference.
