Comment(by karsten):
1 and 2 are fine to discuss on tor-dev. I'm optimistic that we can find
privacy-preserving solutions here. Whenever this ticket gets funded or we
decide to do it anyway even without funding, I'm happy to move the
discussion there and do some initial studies.
3 might be more difficult. The thing is, we can already monitor what
domain names we resolve---that is, if I understand domain name resolution
on exit relays correctly---and to what destinations we exit. So, if
somebody follows the rationale "if you can monitor it, you can censor it",
that would already apply. However, I'm less worried about the statistics
discussed in this ticket than about those in #6002. Both the domain names
to resolve and the destination IP addresses to exit to are information
that exit relays need to have anyway. That's different than #6002 where
we don't even have protocol information yet that we could use to censor
given protocols. Implementing #6002 would change that, whereas
implementing this ticket wouldn't add a single bit of information to what
exit relays already know.
