 Hello.
 A lot of sites fight anonymity in a harsh way. The most frequent ways are
 1 making site unusable without JavaScript to force user to execute
 fingerprinter. Some sites even doesn't work if you are visiting through
 tor. Some don't even allow to read them, because they are owned by
 companies which are collaborate with NSA.
 2 using reCaptcha, which became unsolvable for tor users (it is both very
 hard, and even if you clearly type it correctly, it is refused.
 sorry.google.com captcha behaves in the same way)
 3 using cloudflare and seting it up in the way that it disallow tor


 It's time to fight this.
 We need
 1 to create a registry of sites which are intolerant to anonymity and
 encourage users to abandon them. Make shameful to be intolerant to it.
 2 create scripts like noscript surrogates which bypass bypassable
 measures.
