That was the quote I was referring to. Also, of course I didn't say that no one should have any privacy; I simply implied a high moral cost for this particular form of privacy.

Continuously updated HTTP response dumps from all the major Tor hidden services: https://rnsaffn.com/zg4/

It is accurate to say that Tor's hidden service ecosystem is focused on drugs, ransomware, cryptocurrency, and sex crime.

However, there are other important things happening there. You can think of the crime as cover traffic to hide those important things. So it's all good.

Definitely some heinous-sounding stuff.

The third result was "FREE $FOO PORN" where $FOO was something that nearly the entire human race recognizes as deeply Not Okay and is illegal everywhere.

I wonder what % of the heinous-sounding sites are actually providing the things they say they are.

I'm sure that some (most?) of them actually offer heinous stuff. But surely some of them are honeypots run by law enforcement and some are just straight up scams. However, I have no sense of whether that percentage is 1% or 99%.
