In December, the government struck a $1.4 billion loan deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that scaled back its bitcoin embrace after the lender urged officials to limit its exposure. The lender specifically advocated making acceptance of bitcoin voluntary for the private sector, which is spelled out in the hastily-approved law.

The link is still working and reuters is a huge organization so its probably an issue on your side.

Nope. Their site is always broken. It doesn't work on tor browser in strict mode. Try it.

We shouldn't be linking to such websites

That is hardly a valid reference point for a news source. The site even works without JS which is better than most sites.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope. It doesn't work with js disabled. That's the problem

It does in librewolf, which means that Tor is just doing some extra blocking of stuff that is need for the page to load.

The error messages says that JavaScript must be enabled. You haven't disabled JavaScript in your browser.

Update: holy crap its loading now. My best guess is that the have some reverse proxy sitting in front of the site that sometimes forces you to use JavaScript to pass through to the backend
