To all the people who complain that Twitter over Tor is pointless because you have to login: it's not.
A lot of people might have no concerns with identifying themselves with twitter but might be blocked by their ISPs or worried about some governments tracking them down.
In those cases twitter over Tor makes a lot of sense.
(and no, I'm not a fan of twitter myself and I don't use it)
- unixbane 5y agowhy would it be pointless? everything should be anonymous by default. that's how the internet always worked before corpo scum shat all over it. now the next question is whether you can actually _do_ anything over Tor on there. do they block you from half the functionality, such as searching, scrolling, etc? do they still pointlessly force a phone number as opposed to it being optional (why did this trend start right after snowden anyway)? can you even write a post? is this article just some PR generated crap and tor is still actually fully blocked? are they able to implement their trivial web application without javascript yet (so tor browser can be run in safe mode)? i made some accounts on tor 10 years ago there and they silently got deleted / shadowbanned (it seems the ones i used to DM a pre existing account got deleted)
- MayeulC 5y agoThe post you reply to implies that you have to login in order to access it. That's a good first step IMO, as this should balance out some fears of abuse from them. But I wouldn't be surprised if you can't create an account from Tor.
