I couldn't find what they mean with "the Netherlands is home to the
largest number of non-malicious and malicious nodes combined" in
Figure 1 on page 8. What differentiate a "malicious node" from a
"non-malicious node"?

Otherwise it wasn't that bad, but the last paragraph is quite offensive:

"In general, networks should be configured to deny access to websites
such as www.torproject.org"
