Personally I don't really like them. I think using hidden service as an IP address for peer to peer (like torchat) is a risk factor although I don't know enough to know for sure. (Maybe the already in place guards fix that?). But I also think all the content in a hidden service are not beneficial to anyone. Wikileaks may have been one but it looks like they have no problems getting hosting/a domain and staying online
Is there a real reason why the or project can't just disable hidden services? IMO no positive exists as the content can be served on clearnet (once again wikileaks is fine and that is a big deal). Hidden services is just carrying negatives. I guess my question is will it be removed and if not can I assume it will always exist and also why will it not be removed? FYI I only made one anonymous app. No one uses it (although its because no one runs a server) and its fully legal and only requires users to access it via tor.
