For users wanting to prevent their ISP from sniffing around then tor works as intended. Against advertisers it also work decently as a self cleaning browsers that constantly change its IP address.

>It also works mostly fine against national and ISP firewalls that is intended to censor citizens and lead people away from places which the state has declared unsuited for its population. Can't most countries just block all Tor traffic? Russia does this as far as I know. If you're the kind of state that would have a national firewall, why would you let your citizens use Tor at all?

I'm working for a big international project and our most important website is running fucking SSL 3.0
I reported it one year ago, and it hasn't been fixed yet. Many people are having problems connecting now, because browsers are removing support.
The server is hosted in Germany, which really amuses me given their reputation for good engineering...

Sort of. There are transports that make Tor traffic look identical to generic HTTPS traffic etc. So you can filter based on endpoints, but that's hard to do for unlisted bridges and the like. In terms of exits, most countries prefer not to block them.

You can yell at google all you want but ultimately it’s the rights holders who push this initiative
All of them at once, for some reason, or is Google just covering their ass? I heard there was some boring lawyer standoff between Google and KODA, the danish music cartel, but the Google blockade goes way beyond danish music. I've seen Russian music blocked even. [1] But I see your point, though I'm not sure who is more unlikeable, Google or the music industry. Actually, let it never be said that I'm not fair: They c…
Fellow Dane here and someone who used to work with Danish musicians: KODA is the enemy. It'd be a more worthy initiative to go yell at them: they are literally the mafia of music in Denmark.

Danes are the proud people who inhabit the Kingdom of Denmark.
Why are people always called "proud people"? Are there no people embarrassed of their country?

That reputation comes from cars and machines, not from software. Germany is one of the worst places for anything digital.
