Keep your communications online safe and private. Use Tor. #SaferInternetDay

Encryption = safer internet use. Period.

Today is #SaferInternetDay. Amidst attacks on encryption like the re-introduced EARN IT Bill, which would allow the U.S. gov't scan your messages, it's important to shout from the rooftops that encryption KEEPS US SAFE ONLINE—not the other way around.

"[Tor] is really essential for activists, human rights defenders, civil society groups and also marginalized communities... to access reliable information, be able to build communities and organize politically."

In our recent Run a Tor Bridge campaign, we asked volunteers to spin up a Tor bridge and help people circumvent censorship. We had a goal of adding 200 bridges to the network. You blew that goal out of the water by starting up 1,270 bridges! 🌉 🧅 :blobcat:

"It is no accident that governments are using spyware to target activists and journalists, the very people who uncover their abusive practices... They seem to believe that by doing so, they can consolidate power [and] muzzle dissent."
