🌐 Global Encryption Day: Today, on October 21, 2023, we celebrate the 3rd Global Encryption Day and a call to action for businesses, civil society organizations, technologists, and internet users everywhere to champion the significance of encryption and to push for its mainstream adoption and normalization.

🔒 Encryption is a fundamental safeguard for human rights. In a world filled with complex challenges to user privacy and digital safety, we believe in education, international collaboration, and the normalization of encryption for all online communications.

📚 Our recent participation at the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) underscores our stance on the issues and complexities governing the use and implementation of encryption. We brought together a group of experts to emphasize the need for policymakers to adhere to International standards for human rights, privacy, freedom of expression, due process, and access to information when considering the governance of encryption.

🤝 We're committed not only to developing technology but also to advocating for the unrestricted availability of privacy-preserving technologies like encryption. Read the full discussion outcomes and recommendations for policymakers on our blog. https://blog.torproject.org/global-encryption-day-2023/

Right now, Tor is protecting the privacy of millions of people. If you value the privacy that Tor provides to yourself or to other people, please make a donation: https://torproject.org/donate/donate-fb-ann-2023

Your contribution will help ensure Tor continues to provide online privacy to everyone who needs it. 💜
