Reddit onion service campaign

Hello everyone,

We at Acropolis are here to start a campaign to get Reddit to provide a Tor link of their website. This would allow users in oppressive countries to view their site and enjoy all the information, laughs, tears, stories, and discussions that all these posts and topics have to offer. We know they could visit the clearnet site through Tor, but visiting a site hosted through Tor is safer than visiting a regular site through Tor.

ReddiTor existed at one point (unofficial clone) but I think it went down during Onymous. I thought I saw a new clone on /r/onions within the last month.

An official reddit hidden service would be great!


[2 Points] Ethereality_DNM:

I think that this is a wonderful idea. It doesn't take a lot to set up a hidden service proxy and obviously it wouldn't need to be top priority in the case of an outage, but I certainly think that reddit could use a hidden service. Facebook is not ahead of reddit in many ways regarding privacy (IMO), however hosting an .onion is one of them. Plus, it would be great publicity.

For good measure I'm going to send some pings. Current reddit staff:

Elaborate.


[1 Points] guywithlabandnomoney:

Excellent Idea Guyz. Why haven't reddit already done this? I think it's about time in this day that we had access for people who's freedoms are being repressed. Imagine stopping over in Turkey and not being able to get your daily reddit hit? Imagine being in a country that blocks reddit in a coupe and you can't post about it. Imagine if reddit got news before the rest of the world because it had a Tor link and some repressed reddiTor posted about it. Wouldn't they be happy. So lets do it guyz!


[1 Points] Hitandrunrun:

I think we should put some effort into getting behind this.


[1 Points] choosethechosen:

If facebook has one, why not reddit?


[1 Points] onionsaresafe:

What do we want? An Onion Link! When do we want it? Right now!!!


[1 Points] HypothermicPenis:

Definitely a GREAT idea!
