In January 2019, Steele was [interviewed](https://github.com/Enegnei/JacobAppelbaumLeavesTor/blob/master/JacobAppelbaumLeavesTor.md#the-website-and-twitter-accounts) by [**Pacific Standard**](https://web.archive.org/web/20191021214100/https:/twitter.com/PacificStand/status/1087711484707250176?lang=en) about her time as executive director. She described a meeting which Appelbaum was excluded from, where "several women... came to me during that meeting and told me their stories about things that had happened with Jake." Then, "within a couple of weeks, I heard from a woman who said that she was raped," most likely Komlo; therefore, this meeting was probably held in early 2016. She said she was "proud" of those who had set up the 'victim's collective' website. No mention was made of [Lovecruft](https://github.com/Enegnei/JacobAppelbaumLeavesTor/blob/master/JacobAppelbaumLeavesTor.md#isis-lovecruft), one of the primary accusers, being fired from the **Tor Project** six months earlier.
In February 2020, the journal of [Information, Communication & Society](https://archive.is/L2Tcc) published a PhD sociological study by [**Cambridge Cybercrime Centre**](https://archive.is/CGHy3) [post-doctoral researcher](https://archive.is/B60Tr) [Ben Collier](https://archive.vn/GZPps), titled "[The power to structure: exploring social worlds of privacy, technology and power in the Tor Project](https://web.archive.org/web/20201203174521/https://sci-hub.st/10.1080/1369118x.2020.1732440)," based on "twenty-six qualitative interviews with people in the Tor community" (though only twelve anonymised individuals are quoted) and "extensive archival research in Tors mailing lists and design documents."

> When this research was conducted, Tor was in the process of recovering from a serious crisis in which a prominent community member had just been fired for allegedly engaging in sexual violence and abusive behaviour, which several participants linked to the changing values of the Tor Project. As a result, I sought to conduct these interviews sensitively, and to discuss these issues sensitively in this analysis, focusing on the organisational and cultural changes which resulted from these events.
