Well, and there’s surveillance from the client’s side, meaning connecting to the network will be unsafe for your social rating. If you accidentally connect to the network for even a second, you’re done.

The Onion is the most closely watched part of the network by authorities
sorry, are you reffering to “The Onion” news or onoinsites?
i think the hard-to-guess (ie you have to know the domain to find the site, you can’t just search for it or guess the domain) and anonymous nature of onoinsites means that authorities don’t really care about legal or mostly legal (ie not giant illegal goods marketplaces) as the effort to de-anonymise them is not worth it.
if my assumptions are wrong then please correct me.
The onion network was made by the secret service and the military of the US, and all its servers. It is still used by those for intern communication and also controlled its traffic. More than 2000 sites raided by the authorities every year, show that it has few to do with security to use it, precisely because it is used by all kind of criminal activity. This is why eg, drugbarons nowadays prefer to use P2P comunication or simply pencil and paper. As aid, the future isn’t the Onion, it’s i2p or other decentralized networks.
