I have seen a recent trend of legal claims that if data is in the open on the dark web that it isn’t actually “readily available for public consumption.” I hope that eventually gets shut down by a reasonable verdict, but it almost feels like an effort to make using TOR or other privacy tools illegal, not by passing a law but using court rulings to say the only reason to have those is to engage in criminal activities.
