The relevant French: "depuis quelques mois, nous avons eu plusieurs affaires juridiques lié à l'utilisation de plusieurs réseaux TOR dans le cas de la pedo et on va désormais l'interdire au même titre que tous les systèmes d'anonymisation."

My (amateur) translation, cleaning up Google translate (which doesn't recognize Tor as a proper name): "For several months, we've had many legal matters related to the use of TOR networks in pedo cases, and from now on, it is forbidden along with all systems of anonymization."

Doesn't sound like they want any part of it.



Weird, the French part looks like the output of a translator. There are a few faults of vocabulary, grammar and sentence structure.

Your translation is correct though.


French is my mother tongue, and I think it sounds alright. It's everyday speech though, not something you'd write in a press statement.


Fellow Frenchie here- it does look like it was written by a high schooler rather than a CEO- awkward phrasing ("dans le cas de la pedo", wtf?!?), conjugation mistake ("liées"), use of "on va" instead of "nous allons" in a formal written statement...


Seems commonplace in the French IT sphere. On the new "42" school forums, the mods are downright trolling.


Oles (Octave Klaba, the CEO)'s French is always terrible. This is probably one of his best written sentences.


The fact that he arrived in France from Poland at the age of 15 may explain that. Plus that his whole family works with him. Does anyone know if he speaks polish with them at work? The company is 100% family owned! Not bad.

The first interview I ever heared from him, on a french radio/Tv: http://www.bfmtv.com/video/bfmbusiness/it-for-business-lhebd...

His views on the french state subsidized cloud attempts: http://pro.01net.com/editorial/584765/octave-klaba-un-fourni... "That is not enough to put on the table a big amount of money."

Keep on Oles!


Just don't use Tor as an exit node with OVH.


It's not just exit nodes that you are forbidden from running. It seems any participation in the Tor network is banned, whether it be a relay, or a personal bridge in to the network.
