More people should use tor
- unicornporn 7y agoFor normal browsing it is almost unusable thanks to Cloudflare's reCAPTCHA (autonomous vehicle training) use.
- TwoBit 7y agoHow is that?
- unicornporn 7y agoJust about every site out there is on cloudflare these days and cloudflare has decided to consider every connection from a total exit point as suspicious activity. Hence you get a captcha for almost every site you visit. Eternally stuck in captcha hell...
- user7261 7y agoYes but if the BBC initiative starts spreading this might change in the future. No?
- Diederich 7y agoMajor sites have been maintaining tor hidden endpoitns for some time now. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebookcorewwwi.onion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebookcorewwwi.onion
- antisemiotic 7y agoWhat are the use cases for browsing Facebook through Tor? For me it sounds kind of like asking a prostitute for a hug.
- dbdjfjrjvebd 7y agoPeople in countries with oppressive regimes that are not aligned with the US.
- antisemiotic 7y agoThe emphasis was on "why Facebook", not "why Tor".
- Ajedi32 7y agoHow is it with Privacy Pass? https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001992652-Can-I-use-Privacy-Pass-with-Cloudflare- https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/11500199265...
- floatboth 7y agoMost of the services I use are not behind Buttflare. Various blogs linked from here often are, unfortunately (and people don't even change the default captcha settings when they have static blogs that don't ever need to prevent bots from visiting!) but privacy pass sometimes works.
- deftturtle 7y agoAgree! Also TAILS has been great during my lunch break on old corporate computers. Makes them usable again, while avoiding surveillance
- darth_skywalker 7y agoBe careful though - TAILS doesn't suddenly make untrusted hardware safe. You can still be surveilled by things like keyloggers.
