Esmail is actively forbidding members or supporters of the LGBTQIA+ community to use their services via a TOS document*.
This is absolutely queerphobic and extremely discriminating. Therefore I ask to remove their instance searx.esmailelbob.xyz / searx.esmail5pdn24shtvieloeedh7ehz3nrwcdivnfhfcedl7gf4kwddhkqd.onion from the list, to not further support their actions.

Every removal should be linked to a rule violation. The owner has to be then notified of the violation and we ask to solve the issue or the instance gets removed.

I'm not against adding a new rule but I don't know where to draw the line.

A lot of public instances are already blocking a region or a group of people. That can be for blocking bots like this instance who blocked China for reducing the amount of bots in order to bring back a working user experience: #324 (comment)

We could have a rule stating somewhere around these lines: "you can block a group of people for the only sole reason of protecting your instance or keep a working user experience for the majority of the users of your instance". But then this should be a bit more defined because the term " defending" is still very broad.

@unixfox I think that should not be the focus. A defensive action requires evidence. Attacks coming from an ip range are evidence. You can not assign ip ranges to gay people, nor are they likely to organize in such a fashion.

For everything else, there is always the basic human rights to refer to?
