(EU) European Commission websites are a hit-and-miss rat’s nest of access 403 refusals to Tor users
The official website of the European Commission, providing access to information about its political priorities, policies and services
There are copious hosts in the europa.eu
domain. Most of them rudely stonewall Tor users without explanation. Ironically, sometimes they are asking for public feedback on a privacy-related policy but then they block Tor users who would have the most insight.
Few examples of EC sites that are exclusive access:
Often an open access host links into commission.europa.eu, so people might be part way through a transaction and cannot proceed.
At least eur-lex.europa.eu is open access. That’s the most important one because it publishes enacted law. Yet commission.europa.eu is quite important so definately an injustice that that site is access restricted.
