As over 65 elections will happen across the world in 2024, this year stands as the biggest election cycle of this century so far.
Internet censorship and surveillance are a threat to the integrity of free and fair elections.
As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on the hard work of the Tor Project's teams and their many noteworthy achievements to improve Tor and its experience for millions of users all around the world. Thank you to our community of users, volunteers, relay operators, partners, and donors for making these projects possible through their generous contributions.
We will be hosting our annual State of the Onion livestream, a virtual two-day event featuring the Tor Project's different teams presenting highlights of their work from 2023 and what we are excited about in the upcoming year, on November 29th and December 6th from 17:00 - 18:00 UTC.
Today we’re highlighting just some of the stories Tor users have shared with us (explicitly, with consent) about how Tor makes a difference in their lives.
We realized Onion Services were not used to their fullest extent, so we launched support initiatives and resources to provide education, information and increase adoption.
We have conducted an assessment of our strategy to make Tor services more broadly available in the Global South to better understand our progress and potential for improvement.
