flag to disable censorship about tor2web HOT 2 CLOSED

I believe you are not understanding why we are blocking sites inside of tor2web.

We are not blocking them to protect the user from viewing the content, but we are blocking
them because if we were not to block them the tor2web node will stop existing.

The goal of tor2web is not to be the best way to view tor hidden services, nor to be fully
censorship resistant. We just want to provide the best we can to people not running a Tor
client.

Even with the banner one of our tor2web servers got shutdown (and even though we
blocked the site in 10 minutes), so it is by no means a valid mechanism.

I saw that you are blocking/censuring some hosting provider, even if there are many good things on them.
Now that you have added the frame declaring that you aren't hosting any contents you can disable this censorship.

If you want to maintain the censorship, another solution could be adding a flag, example:

With censorship
http://4eiruntyxxbgfv7o.onion/imgzapr/

Without
http://4eiruntyxxbgfv7o.onion/imgzapr/?censorship=off
It will change the cookie and then going back to http://4eiruntyxxbgfv7o.onion/imgzapr/ un-blocked.
