[tor-talk] Tor's reputation problem with pedo, some easy steps the community could take

[Chris Patti]

OK, you're right.  That's a bad idea - what about clearly labeling the pedo
sites as pedo sites?

And once again, please note I am in no way suggesting that *the Tor
project* undertake this effort, but that people who operate the hidden
directories might consider making it a little easier for new folks to avoid
this kind of content.

That's all.
