Many once thought this trade was beyond the reach of police because the sites were accessible only through Tor, a service created by the U.S. government that directs Internet traffic through a succession of routers to hide the identities of users and the locations of servers. The ability of investigators to unmask the alleged operators of Tor sites sent shivers through those who use the service for more legitimate purposes, such as political activists, journalists and diplomats.
Several experts suggested that Tor’s ability to protect users and the locations of servers may have been compromised on a mass scale by sophisticated technological tools used by a coalition of Western law enforcement agencies that has been targeting what is often called “The Dark Web.”

Sounds like Tor's ability to provide privacy has been rendered useless.
