+<p>The Tor Project does not host, control, nor have the ability to
+discover the owner or location of a .onion address.  The .onion address is
+an address from <a href="<page docs/tor-hidden-service>">a hidden
+service</a>.  The name you see ending in .onion is a hidden service descriptor.
+It's an automatically generated name which can be located on any Tor
+relay or client anywhere on the Internet.  Hidden services are designed
+to protect both the user and service provider from discovering who they
+are and where they are from.  The design of hidden services means the
+owner and location of the .onion site is hidden even from us.</p>
+<p>But remember that this doesn't mean that hidden services are
+invulnerable. Traditional police techniques can still be very effective
+against them, such as interviewing suspects, surveillance and keyboard
+taps, writing style analysis, sting operations, and other physical
+investigations.</p>
