You could do things until you're blue in the face to prevent the host from being disclosed... but they're potentially dealing with two types trying to discover information. At the end of the day, if it's government the data could be subpoenaed from the registrar, ISPs, services they'd subscribed to like cloudflare, mail, Etc.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but back to my point about being 'good enough' there's a reason for it... There's a reason why people who actually have illegal services aren't just hanging out on the public internet (I mean some are lol, but you get my drift I think...) TD is not illegal... The point being is that you can only do so much, and it's likely not enough unless you start doing stuff that's going to make it less accessible. Plus, who want's to be associated with places that are actually up to shady shit...
They'll be fine. Worst case scenario they'll move the infra to a country that gives zero fucks. It will make people question why it's located there, and bring on it's own issues, but it's honestly the easy button here. Lots of people probably have heard of the Pirate Bay. Similar concept.
Web browsers are already inherently insecure anyways, considering how shoddily they are coded--Firefox was promoted as being the best option for privacy for a while now and yet its sandboxing capabilities are shit compared to Chrome's. Chrome.
Thanks for the excellent analysis and details, fren!
I'm very interested in this topic, and cybersecurity, cryptography in general, but I'm very green, so I was reading every word of it with pleasure.
I was thinking about it too and also came up with idea that in the end, moving to a safe harbor country (oh irony it's not here) is the first and probably the best step. IDGAF if it's not here, who cares.
I should also mention this -
