No, I was not aware of this. It would be helpful if there were something 
besides anonymous allegations and a vague press release from Tor which 
promises no further clarity ("We expect that this will be our only public 
statement.").



I cannot access the stories. Can you?

Try reading the site's HTML markup (circa line 950) and you can find the 
stories without running Javascript (which I wouldn't recommend turning on).


The site operators should have made wiser choices. Javascript was 
completely unnecessary for this site and HTTPS would have been wise to use 
by default particularly now that Let's Encrypt is up and running issuing 
gratis, usable HTTPS certificates to all.

Unsubstantiated allegations. It's not hard for someone to dish swill against  
a person they might have an issue with. Let the courts decide if it comes to  
that. Gossip never helps.

This does not belong here. The allegations are very serious, and aren't  
really appropriate for us to discuss in this manner.

How come? Is the website blocking visitors by country?

Here's the whois of that domain http://paste.debian.net/715667
Apparently the owner is someone from Austria.
I find really strange that someone bought a domain just for this. There are  
hundreds of free services they could have hosted this. But no, a domain just  
for this. Makes you think.

I'll say that exists the possibility that someone has it against him and  
someone has a political persecution against Jacob.
