I've asked some people connected to the project about this and they want to remind everyone that the project is "evolutionary and slightly flaky". Also "the goal is that we keep the service up and accessible to people coming from Tor but not that we avoid flagging potentially odd user behaviour". Facebook also lets you get past this checkpoint with two-factor authentication. Most of FB's two-factor methods involve a de-anonymizing SMS, but in theory Google Authenticator works totally off-line so can be safely used here. Someone with more familiarity with Authenticator can confirm. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
