### Browser vendor discrimination

CloudFlare gives preferential treatment to those using Firefox while

giving hostile treatment to users of non-Mozilla-based browsers over

Tor. Tor users of who (rightfully) refuse to execute non-free

javascript also receive hostile treatment. This access inequality is

"_Why not use Audio button to solve easy challenge?_"

Yes, there is an audio button, but it _always_ [doesn't work over Tor](https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23840). You will get this message when you click it:

### Voter suppression
|
||||
|
||||
Voters in US states register to vote ultimately through the state
|
||||
secretary's website in the state of their residence.
|
||||
Republican-controlled state secretary offices engage in voter
|
||||
suppression by proxying the state secretary's website through
|
||||
CloudFlare. CloudFlare's hostile treatment of Tor users, its MitM
|
||||
position as a centralized global point of surveillance, and its
|
||||
detrimental role overall makes prospective voters reluctant to
|
||||
register. Liberals in particular tend to embrace privacy. Voter
|
||||
registration forms collect sensitive information about a voter's
|
||||
political leaning, personal physical address, social security number,
|
||||
and date of birth. Most states only make a subset of that information
|
||||
publicly available, but CloudFlare sees ***all*** that information
|
||||
when someone registers to vote.

|

Note that paper registration does not circumvent CloudFlare because

the secretary of state data entry staff workers will likely use the
|
||||
CloudFlare website to enter the data.
