Google and Cloudflare are not your friends. And when innocent tor users around the world, who simply want to *read* from all human knowledge, have to click ~100 times to pass a captcha, yes this happens all the time, well Goo-CF and whoever else can all go fuck themselves even harder.
Also shame that a quality foss oriented site like Phoronix deployed such sketchy closedsource things. You'd think some brilliant foss types would know how to cdn and read-only and filter in depth and be creative, and be in tune with pro-privacy internet movement and such. You can't even read, search, or patronize, these sites, or their ads, that deploy the above grotesque censor hammers and their data storage / mining / selling / giving and surveillance nightmare. They're missing out on a lot of tor computer using nerds eyeballs with money to spend. That's ok, because someone somewhere will code better fine grained mechanisms, crypto deposits, and many other methods discussed on this list many times... into their own new top sites and profit and rank immensely from it. And Tor Project Inc is opaque in its outreach and lobby for its users on the topic, so don't expect anything there. Your only recourse is to educate whatever helpdesks and humans at these sites like Phoronix you can find. One email, and ticket opened, and tweet complaint, per each captcha click, from each affected tor user... that should do the trick ;-) Here's a start: mich...@phoronix.com , @phoronix , @cloudflare , @google Or leave them behind for dead and build better. Then you won't have to waste time trying to re-educate them. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
