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.
2) True, some sites don't work with Tor. It's not our fault sysadmins sometimes block us. We invite WashPo to remove its block and prioritize privacy. An onion address could also be adopted to help users circumvent censorship like other outlets have done.
We are a small nonprofit organization, and it's safe to say we're leading the charge against tracking, surveillance, and censorship online. Now is the time to join us. #TakeBacktheInternet
