Thanks to our generous supporters who helped us raise $5k yesterday (that's $10k with @mozilla's match!), the Tor onion got to take a trip around the world.

And for the fun surprise, we've released a travelogue of the onion's adventures. #OnionTravels https://youtu.be/Pmv6BLu992k

We are about halfway to our goal of raising $5k today!

Thanks to your help, the Tor onion has made it to Latin America.

If we raise just $2,530 more in the next 9 hours, we will release a fun surprise!

Help us get there:

Help us make it, and you'll get to see the reveal: https://torproject.org/donate/donate-sin-oc-md

Amazon filed a patent to pair facial recognition surveillance with a doorbell camera.

"Simply walking up to a friend’s house could result in your face, your fingerprint, or your voice being flagged as 'suspicious' and delivered to a government database..."

Google shut down a data analysis system it was using to develop a censored search engine for China.

"Leaks about the plan and the extraordinary backlash that ensued both internally and externally appear to have forced company executives to shelve it at least in the short term."

Keep standing up to the giants. https://theintercept.com/2018/12/17/google-china-censored-search-engine-2/

Tor needs your help.

So does an entire ecosystem of privacy and anonymity projects that rely on Tor: https://blog.torproject.org/strength-numbers-entire-ecosystem-relies-tor

Please donate today to keep Tor and an entire ecosystem strong: https://torproject.org/donate/donate-ann-sin-md

Taylor Swift used facial recognition on her fans at a concert - How long will the images will remain on file? Where they are being stored? Who has access? Swift’s reps did not respond https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-lists/future-entertainment-technology-music-tv-movies-760659/facial-recognition-concert-security-760696

If Tor disappeared, what would happen?

Not only would millions lose access, but the diverse ecosystem of privacy, security, and anti-censorship applications that rely on the Tor network would cease to function.

An entire ecosystem relies on Tor. https://blog.torproject.org/strength-numbers-entire-ecosystem-relies-tor

Tor Browser isn't just a tool for protecting activists and journalists online. You can teach your family to protect themselves with it, too.

Why should Google, your ISP, and website trackers know what your kids are researching and what sites they're visiting? They shouldn't.

Tor Browser protects against tracking, surveillance, and censorship, and we think everyone should be able to use it and enjoy the universal human rights to privacy and freedom online.

We’re in a race with censors.

They're getting more sophisticated, and so must we. https://blog.torproject.org/strength-numbers-internet-freedom-line

Just $1,107 more, and we'll have raised $100,000 for internet freedom with @mozilla's match!

Your donation will help support the development of the world's strongest tool for privacy and freedom online. Join us: https://torproject.org/donate/donate-ann-sin-md
