 The ‘What The Hack tutorial on hidden services’ (listed at the end of item
 ‘j’ in the ordered list on
 [https://www.torproject.org/docs/documentation]) recommends that users
 test their hidden service by configuring Tor to forward connections to the
 hidden service to google.com. As explained in
 [http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Mar-2007/msg00413.html], this procedure
 allows Google to collect a list associating .onion hostnames with the IP
 addresses behind which they were set up.

 The link to that video should be removed from the documentation page, and
 if possible, replaced with a link to a video showing a safer method of
 configuring and testing a new hidden service.
