The Tor network team spent the last 12 months working to improve network scalability and accessibility.

They:
- Reduced module complexity and maintenance burden;
- Developed new architecture for several key Tor modules;
- Implemented better tooling;
- Improved testing for several key Tor modules; and
- Improved our documentation.

All this work couldn’t have happened without the support of many teams at Tor and anonymous volunteer cypherpunks. Thank you.

Thus, Rambler claims to own the copyright of the application.

The long-awaited Indian data protection draft is public.

While strong on companies, the bill is a dramatic step backwards on government surveillance. We will continue our work to ensure the Indian people receive the data protection law they deserve.

Our main takeaways from today's hearing:

☑️ There’s no such thing as an unhackable phone.

☑️ End-to-end encryption is here to stay. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/12/senate-judiciary-committee-wants-everyone-know-its-concerned-about-encryption

Just checked and my Snowflake has helped three people circumvent censorship in the last 24 hours. Everybody should add the Snowflake extension to their browser to help users where Tor is blocked. https://www.zdnet.com/article/tor-snowflake-turns-your-browser-into-a-proxy-for-users-in-censored-countries/ …
