I wrote this to explain why, ages ago; short version -- it's not about anonymity: https://www.facebook.com/notes/protect-the-graph/making-connections-to-facebook-more-secure/1526085754298237/ Also, possibly you got "blocked" but I suspect that it's more likely that you got "checkpointed"; for people who may be interested: - if there's a box asking you to answer some questions because something apparently weird is going on, IT'S NOT A BLOCK. - A "block" is when the site tells you "go away and never come back" without recourse. - If it's just asking you questions / to jump through hoops, it's trying to protect your account in case you got hacked. - Eventually it will learn. - The funniest story was the time that Runa Sandvik got checkpointed because Runa tried logging in one day *without* using Tor / the FB Onion: https://twitter.com/runasand/status/728001665018802176 - More at https://twitter.com/AlecMuffett/status/757678012812894208 - alec -- http://dropsafe.crypticide.com/aboutalecm -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
