Although this will be useful, I hope users will keep in mind that identifying themselves while using Tor could make their other traffic less than anonymous. In the Tor Browser Bundle, compartmentalizing your traffic via frequent use of the 'New Identity' feature is usually a good idea.
Using this would also add to the data that one of the world's most aggressive advertisers and an NSA PRISM partner will have about you as a Facebook user.
One plus: at least the login page appears to load correctly without javascript enabled.
Edit to add: someone whose only interest is in not sharing their IP address/location with Facebook could access this URL via facebookcorewwwi.tor2web.org but the usual browser fingerprinting and potential tracking caveats apply
- driverdan 12y ago> identifying themselves while using Tor could make their other traffic less than anonymous Why? With data encrypted end to end the only people who know you've identified yourself are you and the end service.
- justcommenting 12y agosuppose you see an article in your news feed while using the hidden service and click on it; facebook still has a good chance of learning about your browsing habits that way, even if you start from a hidden service. facebook might then learn which exit your non-hidden-service traffic exits to, and from there, it might have information to offer to advertisers about the identities of tor users using a given exit around the same time. even just having a strong authenticator of your real identity active on tor at a given time may be concerning, depending on your threat model.
