Cryptopolitik and the Darknet

"Encryption is too important to be left to true believers. The
future design of crypto systems should be informed by hard-nosed
political and technical considerations. A principled, yet
realistic, assessment of encryption and technology more broadly is
needed, informed by empirical facts, by actual user behaviour and
by shrewd statecraft – not by cypherpunk cults, an ideology of
technical purity and dreams of artificial utopias. Pragmatism in
political decision-making has long been known as realpolitik.80
Too often, technology policy has been the exception. It is high
time for cryptopolitik."

Spoiler:  Onion routing rules, hidden services suck.  What's
worse, the authors back this with empirical evidence.
