Tell users you are being logged on website.

Put alert warning that account has logging enabled

Stop adding captcha to tor users login because you want to identify users


>Tell users you are being logged on website.

Frequently not legal

>Put alert warning that account has logging enabled

>Change the service so collecting logs is not possible

>Stop adding captcha to tor users login because you want to identify users
