Encryption should be thought of as safeguarding our personal information online as we carry out more and more aspects of our lives on the internet.

Our Executive Director, Isabela Fernandes, will speak about Tor Project's role in promoting human rights, advocating for online privacy, and challenges in times of increasing surveillance at this year's "Palestine Digital Activism Forum" 🔗 https://pdaf.net/events-inside/93 @7amleh

The Tor network is underpinned by encryption, and we have partnered with many news outlets and social media sites to launch Onion Sites that bypass censorship and allow people to safely and anonymously access, share and publish information. #pressfreedom #wpfd2023

By upholding encryption we empower journalists to report on important issues while protecting their sources without fear of surveillance and retribution. Tor has signed the open letter to protect press freedom and our right to privacy. https://www.fightforthefuture.org/news/2023-05-03-open-letter-protect-our-rights-to-privacy-free-expression-and-press-freedom/
