SR is .onion you don't use exit nodes to get to it. The only way they could get you by running infrastructre is if they controlled enough entrance and internal nodes they could do a timing attack, especially with SMF telling the world when everybody is logged in but why bother, everybody just eventually drops dimes on themselves through massive opsec violations like this one guy who announced the tiny town he lived in and that "cops will never suspect my packages because the place is so small" /facepalm. He's probably the only Tor user for 100 miles


Tor Metrics estimates around 5000 users within Australia, which means that there's probably a very good chance that he is not the only Tor user in his area.

Australia is kinda big. 5000 users is ~593 square miles per Tor user.


The Australian population is heavily urbanised. Averaging the population over the landmass leads to silly conclusions.
