Censorship and surveillance are the biggest threats against civil rights online and tools that use encryption are the only solution to defend these rights. At this talk we will present different use cases of Tor and how we use encryption to advance human rights around the world. We will share insights into recent online censorship events and the importance of building circumvention tools that also protect people’s privacy.
