Tor Project Accuses CloudFlare of Mass Surveillance, Sabotaging Tor Traffic
- johansch 11y agoThis seems like the responsible way for CloudFlare to deal with the situation, honestly.
- paraxisi 11y agoAn often broken captcha and tracking cookies is a responsible way for them to deal with it? I suppose I shouldn't ask what the irresponsible manner to deal with it would be.
- trentlott 11y agoI have used Tor occasionally on a lark and ran into these CAPCHAs. There is a version which is impossible to read or answer. Ocassionally I get the "If you're a human, click this box" version which is an absolute godsend. Without that Cloudfare was a brick wall that prevented me to go any further.
- KingMob 11y agoGiven that CloudFlare coughs up multiple CAPTCHAs, it actually makes it seem like their software is broken. When I get more than one, I have no idea if I mistyped or not, if CloudFlare's stuck in a loop, or if this is expected behavior. Anything more than one (maybe two) CAPTCHAs seems punitive, and not technically-driven. What if CloudFlare next decides to interfere with the web experience of people using VPNs? Or ad blockers?

- DanBlake 11y agoAt my last company, we blocked Tor wholesale. In my experience, Tor users are 1% privacy nazis and 99% nefarious actors. I have zero qualms about blocking tor. They wont see ads, they wont buy anything and chances are they are there to do something you dont want.
