Volt4ireWow the head of the Open Technology Fund just resigned over lobbying efforts to force it to fund closed-source projects https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/935k5p/open-technology-fund-ceo-resigns
The Open Technology Fund is a publicly-funded organization that funds development and security audits of internet freedom-promoting FOSS projects such as TOR, Signal, Wireguard, and Tails; without it such projects might have never gotten off the ground
touch fluffy tail@volt4ire I thought Tor was DoD
@fluffy that's where the initial research was done but its development and tooling around it (eg: torbrowser) were under OTF funding
