Title: Mexico Partially Lifts Longstanding Website Ban On Tor Network

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/11/19/0002...

Mexico has finally lifted its long-running Tor ban for the main government
portal, allowing privacy-focused users, journalists, and activists to access
gob.mx again after more than a decade of blocking. That said, the open data
portal and the former Tor-compatible whistleblower system remain
inaccessible. CyberInsider reports: The development follows a long period of
digital censorship that spanned two full six-year presidential terms, those
of Enrique Pena Nieto and Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and continued into the
early months of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo's current administration. Research
conducted by Jacobo Najera and Miguel Trujillo, published in October 2023,
documented that 21 federal government agencies were blocking traffic from the
Tor network, effectively excluding privacy-conscious users from vital public
resources and services.
