Who are you to decide that my use of Tor is not important enough?
- sneak 11y agoA site operator. It isn't censorship for someone to decide who they want to talk to. CF is simply giving site owners levers to use if they so choose. While I am a strong supporter of Tor, privacy, and anonymity, CF has done nothing wrong here by allowing site operators to selectively choose who they wish to serve to.
- parallelist 11y agoSounds a lot like censorship to me. It's discrimination at the very least.
- ferbivore 11y agoSpam filters are discrimination, but I don't see anyone suggesting we stop using those.
- erikrothoff 11y agoThen go after the site owners who choose to enable this.
- corobo 11y agoIsn't the problem along the line of so many different people using effectively the same IP addresses (exit points) and looking somewhat similar to each other? I'd imagine if there was a major ISP network out there that was doing NATing or similar for their customers so everyone came from a small set of IP addresses they'd get the same treatment. More users on the same IP means more abuse from that IP. If anything Cloudflare isn't discriminating. To handle Tor users better you'd have to discriminate (technical definition, not the negative form) to handle Tor users better
