> it would be extremely unethical and illegal for academics to do Nothing illegal about it.
Hugely depends on the country. Don't assume the law you know, to apply here
Could these be attempts at data mining for unmasking Tor users?

China has the great firewall, the UK has Hadrian's firewall, I guess this is the Berlin firewall.
As someone from the UK I’ve never seen anything blocked on my home Internet (except actual scam sites but you can turn that off, and yes that’s from my ISP and not the browser) My mobile data does incorrectly flag some things as 18+ though

This is completely removed from reality. The right wing movements in Europe started around 2000 in Italy, Austria, the Netherlands and France. Germany was way behind .

I wonder if anyone can see inside the right-wing chat networks and if they've been mentioning Tor. Alth…
As a Danish person who has been to Eastern Germany (outside Berlin) I'm really not surprised by the rise of the AfD. It's common to see people on social media praise Germans for de-Nazification and criticize the Japanese for not confronting their past in the same way. Those people have clearly not interacted with Eastern Germans. In Eastern Germany the underlying neuroticism, persecution complex, and willingness to b…
Poster didn't say it's rampant, just that "it is very much alive."
I'm German, I live in Berlin, I regularly spend time in eastern Germany, outside Berlin. I can sadly confirm this.
