[tor-talk] More and more websites block Tor, which will eventually become useless!

…what I'm saying is: Tor could be much more than just a proxy tool, it
could be a public campaign—with all the “dirty work” your generic
public campaign has. (Well, it's not /that/ dirty, actually; it's funny
once you get involved.) Activism, PR, fundraising, education, etc. The
only reason this isn't done yet, I suppose, is that people who enjoy
programming web servers probably do not usually enjoy running campaigns
like the one I describe. Well, it could be a good idea then to find
human rights activists, all around the world, who know how to do it,
and collaborate. Support those harrassed for providing Tor access, make
it a matter of public debate, find sponsors, make journalists write
about it, engage volunteers. I feel a bit stupid saying this. Why don't
people work on it already? Maybe they do, and I'm just showing my
ignorance now?
I run exit from home publicly and encourage others to do the same. I'm
convinced this is the only way Tor can survive in the long run:
together we stand, divided we fall. If someone reads this with “my
thoughts exactly” in their heads, please email me, we'll cook something
up soon. Or make a special topic in *tor-talk*. [Mailing lists make an
awful communication medium, though—I don't even understand who will see
this message and how to provide a discussion link for outsider. :-(]
