*** That is an experiment. Tor usage is likely to remain marginal on
Facebook. But what if it doesn't? Absorbing the traffic of Facebook
users into the Tor network would likely disrupt the assumptions of
anonymity of all users: obviously Facebook users would not be anonymous,
although their origin would--but it's probably marginal in the way FB
identifies its users.
When AOL put a server on IRC, suddenly the stable population of IRC
Undernet was invaded, like central Chinese by the Han to trump
rebellion: one day you're a solid majority, the next day you're a loud
minority.
Would Facebook account for the increased bandwidth? Would they give a
billion dollars contribution to TorServers.net or would they rather
setup their own relays? What happens to my anonymity if a major player
does lift the anonymity of the majority of users?
