Looking at the ‘hidden-services’ tag as well: https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/hidden-services led me to this blog post: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/hidden-service-hackfest-arlington-accords which states: | We talked about rebranding the "Hidden Services" project to "Onion | Services" to reduce "hidden"/"dark"/"evil" name connotations, and | improve terminology. In fact, [we've been on this for a while][1], but | we are still not sure what the right name is. What do you think?
