I noticed today, having searched about TOR nodes possibly being run by government departments in a browser, I got this message, " Your request has been blocked by network security. Please try to login with your Reddit account. " I didn’t login in the app!
Haven’t come across that before. Has anyone else seen i?
Yeah they basically block all non-residential IPs now. Has been a thing for a while, about since they started selling their dataset for ML training.
I’ve seen that message a bunch of times, but only when I’ve had a VPN running.
Thanks guys for all the replys, much appreciated. Oh well, glad I’m on Lemmy. Seems to be a world wide coordinated shift going on at the moment.
Maybe all those people who I took the piss out of in the past for lining their homes with tin foil weren’t so wacko after all, just ahead of their time :)
