Anyone notice/confirm that in the last few days
Craigslist is now reducing page loads over Tor
to an unusable crawl? On the order of over two (2)
minutes per page!
Wonder if their paying advertisers and other posters appreciate
this new, downgraded and frankly, retarded, service they're
receiving for their ads?
If torizens know anyone who is paying for ads, consider
letting them know in case they want to lodge a complaint
to their advertiser. Lots of eyballs surfing the web via
Tor by default these days.
And if you're in SF, consider stopping by CL to discuss Tor
and related things.
(They've never replied any email or phone call).

Pretty bad day for the internet when sites claiming to be
oriented towards humanity (you know, hippie peace signs,
"connecting the world for the common good", open source, and
all)... make it so humanity can't even *read* them and interact
with each other. Depressing when you see it happening.
If it's any consolation, they also have a disgusting practice of
keeping every post ever made, email metadata, and likely all
post images and mail content too, forever. Mining and sharing
anyone? So much for notions of privacy and 'right to die'.
