Re: [tor-relays] Exit in Turkey blocking torproject (komm EA93C), BadExit, Node Subscription Services, Censorship

[Pascal Terjan <pterjan@xxxxxxxxx>]

A country's ISPs blocking some websites is not the exit blocking it and the result is the same than websites blocking the country, users of that exit can't access the websites just because the exit is in that country but doesn't do any filtering itself.

That’s a website blocking Tor users. Not a Tor Exit blocking a website.

So this exit node is censored by Turkey. That means any site blocked in Turkey is blocked on the exit. What about an exit node in China or Syria or Iraq? They censor, should exits there be allowed? I don't think they should. Make them relay only, (and yes that means no Guard or HSDir flags too) situation A could happen. The odds might not be in your favor. Don't risk that!

Where do you put the limit?

Various categories of websites are blocked in various countries either by ISPs or by content providers.

For example should exits not be allowed to run in Germany due to  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_of_YouTube_videos_in_Germany ? Or not allow exits in EU due to the number of US websites deciding to block all of EU IPs to not have to comply to GDPR?
