Re: [tor-talk] doing a google search creates a 403 forbidden when I'm on the tor network

[Sarah Alawami <marrie12@xxxxxxxxx>]

Given that I use google on a daily bases and have that set as my home page in safari  I kind of right now don't want to set my home page. I'm using the terminal version of tor to connect and link up safari not the browser. I can't as it's not accessible to me using voiceover on mac osx. It works though. I can always do my searches when I get out of tor assuming I remember to exit out when I'm done that is. Lol!

>>> Whileas I am not a developer nor member of the Tor Project I will say that tor has not and will not censor their network. You can place the blame and submit your complaints to Google for blocking Tor. Using any search engine you are able to find the address of their headquarters and write them a letter. The Tor Project is unable to control Google's actions Since Google is blocking Tor users it's not Tor blocking Google.

I was stating it due to the fact that your origional email sounded like you were asking why the Tor Project blocks Google (which again they don't) (Google rate limits Tor).
