@GeKo

We had some comments around that back then in

Do you mean comments made by Tor team?

Actually, I meant our forum topic not the Reddit link, sorry:

Tor Relay Family 100+ Servers Blocked For Refusing KYC Procedure

chris via Tor Project Forum: I understand the questionnaire, but the video call is going too far. And besides, this isn’t really doing much to deter bad actors. Do they really think that a video call is going to stop the police/government? No, they’ll just show on a plainclothes cop on the call. Assuming the main post and comments in the thread are honest, That’s not the case, alas. Additionally, why can’t I find any documentation on these strange tasks given to relay owners? I’m a medium…

@GeKo

We wanted to chat with the operator after a bunch of backs and forths via voice as
a bunch of things get resolved (faster/at all) that way than via lengthy email threads. But they were not up to that.

So in case when operator do not want to do voice and video calls, is it still possible to continue discussing relay operation via text messages?

That depends on the circumstances. Sometimes it’s part of our bad-relay
work and therefore needed.
