Thinking about the security properties vs. performance impact of
Facebook reachable under .onion.

I'm wondering if Facebook is using Tor2web mode of Tor, including latest
experimental patches to further reduce the "amount of hops" on the
.onion-side as https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/12844 ?

The tor2web mode has been designed to be used from the Tor-client by
Tor2web software, but should it also works for who would like to expose
a high performance Tor Hidden Service, without the need of
location-anonymity property?
