Responding to #Tor #censorship in #Russia
source: https://blog.torproject.org/tor-censorship-in-russia/
Since December 1st, some Internet providers in Russia have started to block access to Tor. Today, we've learned that the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, #Information #Technology and Mass Media ( #Roskomnadzor ), a Russian government bureaucratic entity, is threatening to censor our main #website (torproject.org). Russia is the country with the second largest number of Tor users, with more than 300,000 daily users or 15% of all Tor users. As it seems this situation could quickly escalate to a country-wide Tor block, it's urgent that we respond to this censorship! We need your #help NOW to keep Russians connected to Tor!
