+Helping Internet services accept anonymous users
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Without its large network, run by thousands of dedicated volunteers, Tor
+would never be as useful as it is nowadays. Even if current situation
+might seem fragile at times, there are still places where its feasible
+to host Tor exit nodes.
+
+But there's a recent alarming trend in having Internet services blocking
+Tor users indiscriminately. The main use of Tor is to reach existing
+Internet services while protecting their privacy. Being only able to
+browse half of the existing websites would greatly undermine Tor
+usefulness and anonymity set.
+
+Roger Dingledine wrote a “call for arms” [XXX] explaining the problem
+in more details and a possible way to tackle the problem. “Step one is
+to enumerate the set of websites and other Internet services that handle
+Tor connections differently from normal connections […]. Step two is to
+sort the problem websites based on how amenable they would be to our
+help” writes Roger.
+
+A person working on this would have to be “technical and good at
+activism”. If that sounds like a project raising your interest, OTF
+expressed interested in funding work on the matters through their
+Information Controls Fellowship Program [XXX]. Read the blog post
+in full for more details.
