Dear tor directory authorities,
TLDR: Would you blacklist relays with end-to-end correlation capabilities?
I'm asking to find out whether it makes sense to put any effort into finding such operators [2]. If most dir auths would not blacklist such relays than it does not make sense to look for them I guess.
So please let us know whats your opinion on that - thank you.
More information below and there [1]:
The process could look something like this:
- someone identifies such a relay groups (basically based on contactinfo [2]) - contact the operators asking to fix this (ideally this would be a @torproject.org sender) - give them 15 days to fix it - if not fixed: blacklist respective guard relays - give them the possibility to get removed from the blacklist once fixed
teor [1]:
And, of course, it's worth noting that the ContactInfo might be incorrect, so we would have to do this on a case-by-case basis, and convince the directory authority operators it's a sensible thing to do.
