If it's not client-side encryption (where only you know the password and the stuff is encrypted on your machine before it is sent), then it's a non-starter. The government can just order Google to bypass the protections for their

Jeez, did anyone read the article? It said that bitorrent users commonly only use TOR to access the trackers, then use a NON-TOR connection to the peer. The researchers then recorded the user's IP address from the non-TOR traffic. Nothing m
