The talk was almost certainly canceled because it contained admissions of violating federal wiretapping laws, which is what happens if you de-anonymize Tor users in the wild. This is a legally gray area in theory, but I think in practice it would never be judged in favor of the defendant, and so the CMU legal team pulled the talk to avoid exposing themselves to liability. -- Sent from Ubuntu
