Why should you support Tor? Millions of people rely on Tor everyday to exercise their digital rights to privacy and freedom.
Plus, many privacy, security, and anti-censorship applications rely on Tor to function.
An entire ecosystem relies on Tor. ⬇️

The Tor network is one of the backbone technologies of @SecureDrop, the whistleblower submission system. It's used by over 70 orgs including @CBC, @Forbes, @theintercept, @nytimes, and @washingtonpost to securely accept documents from anonymous sources.
Tor is also one of the backbone technologies of the whistleblowing platform @GlobaLeaks internationalized in 30+ languages and used worldwide by more than 1000 projects including the Italian Anti-Corruption Authority (ANAC). blog.torproject.org/italian-anti-c…
If you make a donation to Tor this #GivingTuesday, you will help the Tor network team:
1) Improve the security of the Tor network. We've been looking at new designs from the research world for better padding schemes and improved cryptography. blog.torproject.org/giving-tuesday…

2) Scale the Tor network to support all who need it. As more people choose to protect their privacy, we need to make sure that Tor can handle the load -- but we'll have to make changes in the software's architecture to do so.
3) Develop Tor right. Development isn't just about writing new features: it's about writing code that is clean, correct, maintainable, and sustainable.
Glad to see @washingtonpost mention Tor Browser in an article about fingerprinting. "It’s a privacy-first browser that goes to great lengths to make each user’s device look the same" -- That's true. washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
But we'd like to correct how it says Tor is "only useful for highly technical people because it breaks common websites." 1) Tor is useful for people of all technical abilities, and all kinds of people use it. It's built from Firefox and similarly easy to use.
We also know this first hand: Recently, we personally reached over 800 people who aren't highly technical and introduced them to Tor and other privacy and security enhancing technologies.
