I hope not. Tor being used for whistleblowing and censorship circumvention is one thing, but the onion network is pure anarchy and probably the worst case scenario of what the internet could become.

#5Not really related to the article, but what's the origin of picutres like the one used in the article? A few years ago https://www.humaaans.com/ was all the rage, is this something like this too? I can't imagine that each of these images is individually produced, I feel like they are assembled, but I can't find the origin.
Edit: answering my own question, https://blush.design/ (link found on the humaans page) has things that look a lot like that. So that's probably the origin. There are multiple artists listed on the website (https://blush.design/artists) but I can't tell which one did what. I can understand that it's very practical to be able to mix and match parts of images like that, but I personally find them very unappealing. But seeing how much they are used, maybe most people like them?

One thing i didn't catch is how they are sure that this is "one" great actor. Surely some of these servers were registered with the same fake mail address, but it seems that otherwise they are spread around the world and pretty anonymous. Did i miss something?

Tor never claimed resiliency against large-scale traffic correlation attacks. Anyone who can look at a sufficient portion of all internet traffic has a good chance of deanonymizing TOR users. The Snowden revelations could lead one to believe that the US is sniffing enough traffic to make this viable, but it's anyone's guess if they collect and synchronize enough data to make deanonymization of TOR users viable.
I2P always looked more promising to me, and more open about its threat model [1] and potential mitigations. But it's not built for browsing the open internet, so it has a somewhat different niche.
