It doesn't. The Tor haters never miss an opportunity to declare Tor
"dead". "Oh! It's Tuesday! RIP Tor!". It's often the same crowd (or
associates of them) that love to declare Tor a honeypot for the
federal government.

Anyway, I'm just wondering when this list move beyond the recent
sensationalism and back to actually discussing Tor.
