Tor and Tails Merge to Fight Global Surveillance and Censorship
Tor Project & privacy-focused Tails Linux distro join forces to boost global internet freedom and enhance online privacy.
Wait, TailsOS wasn't created by the Tor project?
According to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_(operating_system)
Tails was first released on June 23, 2009. It is the next iteration of development on Incognito, a discontinued Gentoo-based Linux distribution.[9] The original project was called Amnesia. The operating system was born when Amnesia was merged with Incognito.[10] The Tor Project provided financial support for its development in the beginnings of the project.[8] Tails also received funding from the Open Technology Fund, Mozilla, and the Freedom of the Press Foundation.[11]
Open Technology Fund
Which is funded by US Congress, and they also funded Signal.
For those do not wish to use privacy-related projects funded by a world government, what is a good (in your opinion) alternative? Both with and without Tor involvement (since US govt funded that too).
Yes I realize encryption, computers and the internet are all also govt-funded, but everyone is free to pick their battles.
Yes, now, anyway…
I feel like anyone could have seen this coming, if anything im surprised it didn't happen sooner
Tor and Tails merge to support western intelligence
Unsourced claims like this do absolutely no good to anyone, ever. Which means that either right before typing this comment, you though to yourself "time to be a bad person for no good reason" or you're a shill for some surveillance agency with an interest in scaring people away from privacy enhancing solutions.
