I nicknamed this year annus horribilis (horrible year), this is why starting to use more actively darknets such as Tor or P2P, along with more privacy-oriented messaging apps becomes an imperative if one cares about privacy.

I wish all the best to NG, Tom is a cool guy!

@ShangXian I've been using Tor exclusively for everything other than money transactions and filing reports with my internet service provider since 2021.

The only real problem is when site owners use and blindly trust 'CloudFlare'. Because 'CloudFlare' will just happily keep as many people as physically possible off the site they "protect", so they can make the claim how "successful" they were. Like a rabid dog barking keeping the postman away - and the owner wondering why they don't get any mail anymore.

Sometimes I've spoken to site owners about the issue, but most of the time I just leave them to their misery. In two out of three cases I got an email back that essentially reads "Thank you for telling us. We'll look into it." and about 2 days later, I can get on the site with no problems.

This article is from about 9 years ago, and the situation with that company is basically unchanged:
