[tor-talk] Repercussion from turning every Tor user into a hidden service?

[Peter Tonoli]

I guess the question I have for you is "What's the benefit of turning 
every Tor client into a hidden service?".

To quote the hidden service FAQ 
<https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-hidden-service>, " If your computer 
isn't online all the time, your hidden service won't be either. This 
leaks information to an observant adversary.", so yes.

I guess this doesn't even cover the ethical (?) question of whether it's 
ethical to turn client machines into hidden services by default, without 
asking the user.
