Ten years ago, Edward Snowden shared documents with the press that exposed the extent of the U.S. government’s mass surveillance program – and used Tor to protect himself while doing so. How has the perception of privacy changed since then, and what are the Tor Project’s challenges for the year to come?

privacy has nothing to do with having something to hide. Instead, privacy means protecting the human being that you are, all the personal details that make you, you. What you care about, what you love, what you hate, what you are curious about, what makes you laugh, what you fear. And most importantly, choosing when you decide to share that information and who you share it with.

it is possible to build technology used by millions of people with privacy at the heart. We build technology to advance that right in order to help users reclaim their agency in digital spaces.

(But by default, Tor Browser is not shipped with uBlock Origin.)

    Tor provides very limited privacy for agents below the NSA level only. And as you can see crypto bros copy their articles, too (in good faith of course). Did you notice the marketing language? They are selling you “privacy”. You are the product, I surmise.

    I like i2p. Running your own p2p node is fun and games. (mixnets).

    And notice how they are discussing mirroring google OR bing … what a joice. Waiting for a searx-ng instance that implements its own community ranking. Its there. We need to make use of it. How about living in a Monero search bubble?

      Upvote for i2p. I need to get to learning a bit on the p2p nodes and mixnets. Lots to research and implement, not enough time to do it all. But I’ll get there at some point.
