We encourage all allies to learn more about Tor's privacy-protecting technologies that have been utilized by the trans community for more than 15 years: https://community.torproject.org/

Privacy and visibility should be about self-determination and agency. Everyone deserves to be able to choose when, and with whom, they share personal information.

We'll use today's Transgender Day of Visibility to celebrate the resilience of trans people in the face of an increasing anti-trans political landscape and raise awareness of the fact that not everybody can or wants to be visible.

In Turkmenistan, lots of ways to connect to Tor are blocked, but you can help Turkmens access the free and open internet by running an obfs4 Tor bridge! The trick is, you need to run it on a residential connection. Here's how to help👇

We're #hiring a Product Designer! This position is part of a small, "full stack" design team, encompassing the disciplines of UX design, ethical user research, and brand design. One-year, remote, full-time with possibility of extension. https://www.torproject.org/about/jobs/

(And yes, we are reposting a blog post from 4 years ago, because sadly all of the key issues highlighted in it are still relevant TODAY!) https://blog.torproject.org/international-womens-day/

We remain strong in our commitment to provide vital tools for keeping women protected online – whether it is by allowing them to safely & anonymously access information about reproductive care, seek support to overcome domestic violence, or exercise their right to organize.

As people across social media celebrate International Women's Day, we'll use this day to give a shoutout to women who are organizing and working hard to protect and advance their rights! Much work still needs to be done as women's rights continue to be under threat globally!

Let’s be clear, the need for onion services, the use of privacy-focused browsers, and other forms of encryption to protect people's anonymity online still persists.
