Open source technology is critical to internet freedom because it allows anyone to inspect the code, understand it, and discover any bugs or backdoors. For the community that OTF supports, the open source approach builds trust.
Starting today, we're running a month-long campaign to raise awareness about onion sites, and if you enable Onion-Location on your site, you could win Tor swag!
Join us to make a more secure web! #MoreOnionsPorFavor

Last month, members of CCC testified in German parliament about the importance of anonymity tools in technopolitics: "Encryption & anonymization services such as Tor are fundamental for secure communication & protection of information from unauthorized access. For people affected by repression or surveillance, it's essential that encryption methods and anonymization services are neither weakened nor provided with backdoors."

Important announcement from @torproject about the deprecation of v2 onion services:
https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline
v3 onion addresses are recognizable by their 56 character identifier. They provide better security and anonymity protections than the previous version.
If you're running a SecureDrop instance and are still on v2, please see our docs for switching to v3, or enabling v3 alongside v2.
"Freedom in China is not simple. To empower those that seek it, you need many tools, from a global toolbox... We need the diverse, deeply researched, audited, & open-source brain trust that OTF has been nurturing and building for this last decade to win."
More than 15 years ago, Onion Service (at the time named Hidden Service) saw the light of day. From today (July 2nd), the Internet has around 16 months to migrate from onion services v2 to v3 once and for all. ⏰
