It's an open question whether Tor has been compromised to the point that it's now trivial for authorities to locate where darknet websites are hosted. I'm simply making the observation that if your opsec is good enough, you shouldn't need Tor's hidden webservice capability to protect you. You could simply run your website as a standard .com website, except for the fact that authorities can take the .com domain from you.

Or, put another way, if you're relying on Tor's hidden webservice capability as your sole defense, then you're in a bad position.

Learn about Tor. A key distinction is that the "crackhead" Alice is only communicating with the "pusher" Bob, but the location of Alice and Bob is a secret.
