CloudFlare are also reportedly considering removing CAPTCHAs and other hurdles. It's not futile: while commenting and account sign-up are still not allowed, the popular gaming site, GameFAQs lifted the block on Onion networks. Another subproject works to remove Relays from RBL and other blocklists." This project also develops, documents, and promotes Best Practices for services to use instead of indiscriminately blocking Tor as a whole. "A gathering of affected user communities, the internet at large, TPO speakers, and the central Tor themes and use cases around the ListOfServicesBlockingTor in order to encourage these sites to stop blocking people merely for using Tor. That's a fair prerogative, especially if it avoids cyberattacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) compromises, the like of which Moonfruit recently suffered. If a site sees bad traffic from one IP address, they're understandably going to block it, even if that means excluding benign Tor users too. You may argue this is counter-productive, but to lift the block, you still have to go through a lengthy process in order to be "whitelisted." "Tor's mostly used for pirating, that's the main reason we're against it as a company." Hulu blocks anyone using Tor exit nodes, and when one user complained to them, the response was: It's also in a bid to protect the site's services.
You could argue blocking anonymous commenters is a way of combating trolls creating fake profiles for abusive reasons - sextortion, grooming, cyberbullying - has just become illegal in the UK, and while Tor users aren't completely untraceable, it would make work harder for trackers.īlocking Onion networks isn't solely about comments, though.
