Well, I think this is settling down into a proper discussion. Whilst the hypothesis is untested, leveraging illegal activity, especially reviled illegal activity, as a metric for the quality of anonymity and security provided by Tor is a sound strategy.
As mentioned before, the 'canary' is dead and we need to understand why. Given that this is a global phenomenon, then we need to examine the factors that effect this group. The primary factor would be the software itself. A secondary factor would be the law, but this is not a consistent factor across the world.
What other consistent factors are there?
Regards,
Mark McCarron
