Re: [tor-relays] How can we trust the guards?

...

Tor model breaks down when facing a modest government adversary for the simple reason that having only 7000 relays total, with a minority of them carrying most of the traffic, invites cheap infiltration and takeover by state adversaries.

Yeah, that's a problem :(

That’s a theorical problem. Currently, most of the major guard operators are well known people and no doubt they’re not engaged with three-letter agencies.
