I really hope this blog is only talking about Tor the community and not Tor the technology. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to ban people who are harassing others without storing some identity information, which completely defeats the purpose of Tor.

I don't think this is anything other than a public condemnation of the people who use anonymity to harass people.

>This declaration is not the last word, but a beginning: We will not tolerate harassment of our people. We are working within our community to devise ways to concretely support people who suffer from online harassment; this statement is part of that discussion. We hope it will contribute to the larger public conversation about online harassment and we encourage other organizations to sign on to it or write one of their own.

Key word is "declaration". I don't think this will effect the tor technology in any way.

This isn't a technological change - they're just publicly stating that members of the community are being harassed (especially women), and that's not OK.

So it's not de-anonymisation, it's calling out bad behaviour that is often ignored (because it's nicer to pretend it's not an issue).
