First things first: The Missing Link!

Dmitry Bogatov (maintainer for several Debian packages and a TOR exit node) was arrested in Moscow, accused of endorsing violence and mayhem. The Debian project reacted by - besides giving their moral support - revoking access rights based on his private key as a precaution, in case the key gets compromised.

    The government may want to punish the one they think is responsible for the post. At the same time they get to punish people for contributing TOR exit nodes that let other evade their claws. Running a server inside the TOR network is more likely to go under the radar for this kind of government apparatus.
