Comment (by phw): At [http://meetbot.debian.net/tor-meeting/2019/tor- meeting.2019-08-08-17.01.log.html today's anti-censorship meeting], we talked about snowflake migration. One argument against The Tor Project being involved in running snowflake infrastructure is our "we don't run the network" principle. Conceptually, the broker is similar to our bridge authority (not run by TPO) and BridgeDB (run by TPO). Bridges report themselves to the bridge authority, and their descriptors are then copied over to BridgeDB, which takes care of bridge distribution. The broker combines these two tasks – but it does so for snowflake proxies, and not bridges. We're therefore in a bit of a grey area here. (FWIW, I don't want to steer this discussion in either direction – just wanted to provide a bit of context.) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31232#comment:6> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
