A recent Freedom of Information Act request has revealed that the Department of Justice was unable to investigate those involved in a child pornography website due to the use of Tor (read more about Tor
here).
The website was not viewable through normal web browsers ... and [] the site and it's contents could only be viewed on the Tor Network....
[B]ecause everyone (all Internet traffic) connected to the TOR network is anonymous, there is not currently a way to trace the origin of the website. As such, no other investigative leads exist.
As Ars Technica
reports, Tor has not always stopped law enforcement from investigating illegal activity including the April bust of the Farmer's Market.
