Tor

Filtered to Acquisitions & M&A ×
58 articles accelerating

A 2023 partnership with Mullvad produced a browser aimed at reducing tracking fingerprints, extending Tor’s coverage arc from anonymity infrastructure to anti-censorship access and privacy tooling.

Who they are

Tor appears in coverage as an anonymity and censorship-circumvention network and browser ecosystem, with the Tor Project maintaining related software and services. Stories place it at the intersection of privacy technology, access to blocked information, platform onion services, and attempts by governments or researchers to identify users.

The recent arc

Recent coverage shifted toward Tor as infrastructure for people navigating state internet controls. In 2022, reporting examined Tor’s response to Russia’s blocking efforts, including sharing volunteer-run bridges through Telegram, and its role alongside Google and Signal in helping Iranian protesters evade censorship. Twitter also launched a Tor onion service in March 2022, making its service available through Tor-compatible browsers.】【”】【
