[Tor2web-talk] Tor2web filterlist sharing

I'd just like to state my objection to such lists being used. In
discussion with another person, we have agreed for our Tor2Web
instance we will not be using it because firstly I do not believe we
should act as the censors of people (especially without a court
order). Secondly as the URLs are in the form of an MD5 there is no way
to vet the list.

As bad as the content is that it was designed to block, I would say it
would be going beyond and certainly outside the principles of a
project like Tor to begin blocking it. Tor, in theory, can actually
block hidden services - but they don't because to maintain a voluntary
list is to accept responsibility as the filter - certainly under UK
law where I reside at least. If people get a court order for it to be
blocked then I can understand since the continued operation of the
service is more important than a single URL. With that being said, to
proactively block sites and share the list around as a "feature" of
Tor2Web is slightly chilling.

I made a vow never to be the censor and never discriminate against
anything unless I am given a direct court order to do so (in which I
would fight as much as is reasonable) - I take that commitment very
seriously.
