Well, I'd say most of your links show that the content is hardly
extreme. Four versions of the **censored** hidden wiki, a couple of discussion
boards with barely any content as far as I can tell, one of the 'hacking' forum
has 0 posts in all categories, another apparently requires an email address
(...), and sites trying to sell ordinary porn for bitcoins, so more than likely
outright scams.
And there are a couple of sites that seem to link to 'ilegal' content
on....clearnet! So although the boards are a 'hidden' service their content
isn't actually hosted on tor. Rather suspicious I'd say.
So I'll stick to my general view : tor has an extensive record of
failure, and if the govt wants a honeypot, then some sites have to last for a
while to provide the illusion that 'tor works'.
