[Tor2web-talk] LEOs crawling tor2web?

[Virgil Griffith]

It's unclear to me why IWF would deny this.

I know nothing about National Crime Agency. But it makes sense they'd want
to crawl. For example, INTERPOL does crawl .onion, and they are very open
about it. It wouldn't surprise me if they move to the MEMEX tools.
