In a moment of seriousness, let's talk about @Twitter, @torproject and phone numbers. For a couple years now, every Twitter user that uses Tor to conceal their identity has been suspended if they don't have a phone number. [1/8]
@Twitter@torproject All of our admins that use Tor, who do not provide a phone number, have been suspended. We still find ways to post here. But, it's a complex set up that most activists will not be able to work successfully. [2/8]
@Twitter@torproject Most on the ground activists, particularly in oppressive regimes throughout the world, cannot afford to expose their personal phone numbers. It leads to their arrest and often torture. Tor protects against this. Yet, @Twitter requires a phone # from Tor users. [3/8]
Selam Türkiye, size daha önce duyrduğumuz gibi belgeleri ve ses kayıtlarını bu tweet dizisi ile paylaşacağız.Belgelerin redakte edilmiemiş hali başka bir hesap tarafından paylaşılacaktır.
Belgeyi hazırlayan teknik ekipteki kişinin yanlışlıkla bir 'sıfır'ı fazla yazması nedeniyle kullanışsız hale gelmiş, beş yüz milyon Avrocukluk vurgunun gerçekleşmesi mümkün olmamıştır.

For years, unless you know how to work around Twitter's filters, you can't register an account over Tor without a phone #.
@Twitter@jack Enemies of dissidents absolutely love a phone #. It's an easy way to geolocate a person, which makes the usage of Tor essentially pointless.
@Twitter@jack We understand that Twitter has a political troll/misinformation problem, and a number of those accounts use Tor. However, they've recently adopted the approach of banning all Tor accounts unless a phone # is provided, which is a problem for activists, dissidents and the homeless.
Paging @torproject. A number of our admins have been suspended for using your service and not having a phone number. Other activists facing the same. A problem that @Twitter doesn't timely address, and it affects your software, in addition to activists who don't want to be doxed.
@torproject@Twitter And if @Twitter claims this is paranoid, well, they were infiltrated by agents of Saudi Arabia looking to identify dissidents. And we all know what happened to Jamal Khashoggi. This isn't a joke.
@torproject@Twitter@jack A number of us that use Tor and refuse to provide a phone number have a reason to do so. We've been suspended by @Twitter, despite not displaying any abusive behavior. And Twitter has been infiltrated by dictatorships. A problem worth addressing? @torproject@BiellaColeman
