[liberationtech] Has LinkedIn launched a borderline Denial of Service attack against Tor?

[S.G.Davies at lse.ac.uk]

Hello all,
For some time now I've been concerned about the inability of many Tor users to access LinkedIn  - and more importantly, the fact that attempting to use LinkedIn results in a fatal freeze. It seems to me that something isn't right here, so I've written a short piece on it. I'd be grateful for any thoughts you have.
