What's this petition supposed to do at all? Only a lawyer can get the criminal prosecution dismissed by filing and arguing in court....

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Yes indeed, it looks more like a visibility campaign

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

Probably, objects blend into each other

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

The chain in particular looks really wierd

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, especially if we focus on the chain links.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely.

  • The third chain link (in front of the bar left of the padlock) has a weird shape
  • The lock isn't actually connected to anything
  • The bar is running through the link to the right of the padlock

I've heard that the site is still accessible via tor but I'm not sure of the right address.

Which one is the good one?

Its available on the open web again, they've made official plugins to help you find it:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/z-library/

There's a chrome equivalent that no one should be using.

Thanks, it currently pointing to https://zlibrary-ch.se

About your 3rd sentence, why? (I use FF, I'm just curious)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Guess you didn't see what google is trying to do now.

They only get away with this because of their market share of browsers
