Hahahahaha

Darpa would like a word with you

And what would that word be, exactly? How will it change the fact that US feds can't seize servers which exist outside the US?

It describes a North Carolina server hosting a Tor hidden service site. The setup was seized in February 2015

A North Carolinian server. I think that's in America, right?

to monitor its nearly 215,000 users.

How many were actually busted? Isn't that just the amount of traffic? Busting 215 000 pedophiles would've definitely made the news...

Currently, at least three men—Peter Ferrell, Alex Schreiber, and James Paroline—have been charged in connection with this site.

So to people who open non-tor links from tor are vulnerable? That's not exactly news.

Tor isn't a magical shield that makes everything cop-proof, but feds definitely don't have power over it the way you seem to imply they do.
