Even if you were logging everything that came out of an exit node that you control, you wouldn't be able to get good stats from that.  You'd need a significant sampling of other Tor exit nodes to do the same thing.  It's a bit hard to accept that you don't have an agenda to protect when you come in here asserting one of the most demonizing talking points against Tor with nothing hard to back up your claims other than "some guy on reddit said so."


        
        This is probably a dumb question, so I apologize in advance.

        Controlling exit nodes doesn't allow people to know what's going on inside the .onion darknet? Or does it?
