I voted against censorship but I too can sympathize with the admin's choice. The laws in the US in particular are extremely draconian when it comes to anything that's related to illegal drugs.

(How come they had to amend their constitution to prohibit alcohol, but a much harsher prohibition on drugs did not require such amendment? Land of the free, my arse.)

I think bitcoin-accepting illegal and/or immoral sites should be listed somewhere. How secure can torsites be made? Could bitcoin wiki link to a portal site in tor that had links to all sites that accept bitcoin but are deemed too shady to be listed in the wiki?

I would also like if drugs (and other "illegal" things) were listed somewhere

I voted for removing them from the official wiki, but I thought they would be listed at least in a website like http://www.bitcoinsites.com/

MagicalTux: The entire point of a wiki is collaboration, and it's clear that many people are upset at this censorship. Someone brought up the idea of an R-rated wiki Trade page, and a regular wiki Trade page. Are you willing to do that? Just don't link to the R-rated page from any 'official' sites or other wiki pages. Initially I suppose porn + drugs should go there.

To comply with the law, it needs to be an R-rated site, separate from the official wiki.



Which law? Of which country?

I would assume wherever the operator is located, the site is hosted and the DNS is registered, which could be up to three different countries.

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Trade_R was deleted.

I suggest someone establish an alternative wiki with no censorship whatsoever.
