The UN plans to create a “Global Digital Compact” (the same UN that blocks Tor users from accessing the text of human rights law) ( beehaw.org )

Yikes. As some Tor users may know, the UN drafted the Unified Declaration of Human Rights, which in principle calls for privacy respect and inclusion. That same UN blocks the Tor community from their website. Indeed, being denied access to the text that embodies our human rights is rich in irony.

Well that same UN plans to create a “Global Digital Compact” to protect digital human rights. It’s a good idea, but wow, they just don’t have their shit together. I have so little confidence that they can grasp the problems they are pretending to solve. Cloudflare probably isn’t the least bit worried. Competence prevailing, Cloudflare should be worried, theoretically, but the UN doesn’t have the competence to even know who Cloudflare is.

There are very valid reasons to block tor ips. I would bet a lot of spam and issues comes through tor, because it is effectively free proxies, for whatever malicious thing you have that needs to bypass ip bans.

Not saying the literal UN should be blocking tor, but I can see why they do.
