Comment (by cypherpunks):
If you have found bad exits, report it to the bad-exits list and maybe
tor-talk too. If there is a MITM-attack it can be verified.
This is correct javascript code that does not present any security or
privacy issues. Websites use this to fight spam and scraping, and as a
superior replacement for ads. If you want to go down the inappropriate
road of bias, why not block or sanction gulag, faceberg, and other
javascript that is also correct and does not try to escape the sandbox
design, but veritably tracks and exploits users for their personal data,
which is then obtained by the NSA under PRISM and other programs?
I guess not.
