Luxas on Nostr: Most people don't realize that if the US government and its allies wanted to end #Tor ...
Most people don't realize that if the US government and its allies wanted to end #Tor they could coordinate to do so very easily.
Tor operates it's routing logic of circuits through a centralized mechanism of 9 directory servers. These servers dictate which nodes are allowed on the network.
The 9 servers are all within 14+ eyes countries (none are in a BRICS-affiliated country, I wonder why?), and who have all coordinated with each other in the past on drug busts and recently Tornado Cash and Samourai wallet devs.
Once the 9 directory servers are shutdown the Tor network would begin to crumble. Seems like a very odd killswitch that not many are aware about as to just how centralized Tor is in reality.
