Kind of, it depends. In my experience so far, Reddit blocks Tor nodes about 20% of the times or so. More specifically, it seems to return a 429, probably because someone tried to abuse Reddit from the same node and Reddit banned the IP. In my experience, this is just as likely to happen with the onion site or the www address.
That being said, I only lurk so I don't know if there are any additional restrictions when trying to log in.
Is that the same issue you have or is it something else?
Indeed, Whonix "just works" in Qubes! Disposable Workstation VM without Javascript enabled makes a lot of the internet quite nice. Also, makes a lot of it literally unusable. Oh well.
People used to believe that animals could generate from the earth. The ecosystem used to be viewed as a mystical thing that would take care of its self and no mere man could significantly influence. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_generation
I use xpra to run apps in VMS but seamlessly render them on my desktop. Allows me to have a qubes type workflow without using qubes. Probably not quite as secure, but you can disable features for untrusted servers.
x can't run untrusted applications; it trusts everything
any x application can spy on everything you're doing in other windows, send them messages, inject other windows into them, delete them, and post ui events to them. basically with very few exceptions any x application has total control over your account
xpra has other benefits (lower network bandwidth usage, being able to reconnect after network outages, being able to move an app from one display device to another) but that's not what the grandparent comment is talking about
SESTA and FOSTA go far beyond the lack of Section 230 by criminalizing even some scenarios where the operator is not using any editorial discretion, might not even have any access to the content in question, and isn't really "publishing" anything at all. The cases where these laws might apply are not ones where we might try to have argued that the website directly was the speaker: they focus on the idea of enabling a use case; and so, while there is some overlap in their application, it isn't fair to describe the pain of these laws as coming from how they affect Section 230 protections.
What impact would the loss of 230 have on p2p? Would a bitcoin node operator become liable for criminal transactions people make? Would Tor nodes become even riskies than they are to run? Would participating in the torrent DHT become risky even if I only torrent Linux isos?
> What constitutes "publishing" under the CDA is somewhat narrowly defined by the courts. The Ninth Circuit held that "Publication involves reviewing, editing, and deciding whether to publish or to withdraw from publication third-party content."
Under current interpretation, this law thereby does not apply to at least Tor. It could maybe apply to Bitcoin, but I would think it does not apply to Zcash. I do not know how to analyze the Torrent DHT, but I am very confident that it could be fixed so this isn't an issue (and everyone would benefit from that being fixed even today).
Interesting, do you have a source? All fully p2p networks are vulnerable to sybil attacks to some extent, but specifically a source that Tor actively has enough "government nodes" to de-anonymize everything.
I went to the launch party they had during defcon, it was a lot of fun. I like that Veild is oriented toward being an application framework. In the same way that we have things like libsodium to use cryptography in our apps without being a master of it, we need frameworks/libraries to help build privacy oriented apps as well.
