Reddit attempting to extract HTML canvas?

Tor just let me know reddit was attempting to extract HTML data. Is this normal? I told it to never allow. Can't find anything in search function about this? Scares me because reddit is closed source. I don't know why they'd choose me though.

do you mean the usual noscript canvas warning? a lot of websites it to track users, just disable scripts whenever possible. it should not be surprising that reddit is doing it too.

it actually is open-source but they stated to not further publish updates of that code a few weeks ago. what code they really run on their production servers is another story though.

it is therefore important to use reddit accounts related to dnm activities only over Tor https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarketsNoobs/wiki/bible/buyer/about/redditwithtor

No chance this could be related to Reddit choosing to sell and track user data somewhat recently? Should be opt outs in profile but this sounds either not like a Reddit practice or served something

Better safe than sorry. Oh well.

Thanks I guess.

I was thinking the same thing, it never used to say this I am sure... Somebody should just clone the most popular subs to an onion based forum.

Most people on here are kids, vendors shills & trolls anyway.

As of today it started happening to me too. Don't allow it!

Hmm this does indeed indicate the local authorities are most likely conducting surveillance on your computer. I would take extreme measure to prevent the posssibikity of an authoritative figure who may have intentions to raid your home in the near future because of potential drug usage on your property.

The police are most likely imminent and will soon be taking you to the nearest detention center where you may possibly be subjected to big Tyrone’s large appendage and a strong possibility of contracting AIDs. Please tread carefully as you browse Reddit, and ensure you do everything in your power to stop the possibility of your html code being used to possibly identify your deviant behavior.
