If I worked in such an organization that tracked its employees activities *outside the workplace*, I'd LEAVE it ASAP, and I'd strongly suggest anyone else do the same. I mean what insane workplace is that, the 1920's mob? Apple? Honestly, if you believe strongly enough in Tor to use it, why in the world would you willfully aid and abed an organization that does that sort of thing? It doesn't make any sense at all. It's EXTREMELY self-contradictory and completely erodes your entire stance. If you're going to preach for personal freedom and privacy, at least have the basic integrity to LIVE the basic ideals you're preaching even when doing so ISN'T so trivial as installing a mere web browser. Sadly, it's increasingly 'standard practice' in HR to do just that. Monitor what employees, and potential employees have done or made available on the internet. I don't support that approach, which is exactly why I use Tor. Now, their attempts are moot, and therefore I am in no way supporting those actions. And so, your comments about 'self-contradictory' are moot also. In addition, HR data is increasingly becoming a valuable target for attack, due to the 'profiles' they keep on people. So now the situation gets even worse. Cause not only does HR have this info, so will others... eventually. The only real world option, is to prevent them from gathering data on you in the first place. btw. Some people in my team (those that use D), might have contributed to this post, but now, likely will not.

I share your frustration that TOR isn't more usable than it is today with CloudFlare etc, but coming with political reasons holds no water if the reason why it was blacklisted wasn't political in the first place. It's not false, it just won't work. Hopefully once that particular user gets discouraged or we find a way to actually avoid user impersonification, then things will be able to come back to normal. The D Foundation now subjects all users having an ip originating from a tor exit node, to having their posts moderated (but by whom, when, how, criteria ?? etc). Literally millions of people could, and probably would, be using that exit node. So that is plain discrimination. It's not spammer management. Forcing people to identify themselves, is also not about spammer management either. The D Foundation IS now discimantory against those that want that believe that freedom and privacy is some to be protected. This becomes problematic for those of us who work in 'certain organisations', that insist on tracking it's employees online activities (even outside of the workplace). It's a shame the D Foundation has finally succumed to the big brother mentality - under the guise of protecting you from spam. https://blog.torproject.org/dont-let-facebook-or-any-tracker-follow-you-web

Tor is our last line of defence against an Orson Wells future,
where everyones actions are scrutinized by big brother, so that
big brother can use that knowledge to put fear into, control and
manipulate, those that don't conform.
assert("bad tor user" != "all tor users are bad");
(actually there are more bad non-tor users)
Unfortunately, it's becoming increasingly, the norm, to
discriminate against tor users (no doubt those doing that
discrimination are those that are happy to conform, of which
there will be many, sadly).
