 Replying to [comment:6 dkg]:
 > If this takes off, doesn't it raise the possibility of a major cloud
 provider being able to cross-reference (and thereby de-anonymize) tor
 links?

 If the "this" you're talking about is bridges, then not so much. Bridges
 are only used in the first hop of a Tor circuit, to reach the rest of the
 Tor network.

 Runa, maybe you should make it clearer on the Tor cloud website what a
 bridge is, how they aren't the same as public relays, and how you can't
 compromise a Tor circuit with just a bridge? We've been seeing a lot of
 confused users lately.
