The funding round is now closed. Thank you to everyone who showed up to #FundInternetFreedom. We’re tallying donations and matching allocations, and will share results soon. Support is still encouraged, but new donations won’t count toward this quadratic funding round.
Today is the last day to support OnionShare and other projects participating to the Fund Internet Freedom crowdfunding campaign, led by the Tor Project and Funding the Commons.
Each donation is multiplied by matching sponsors, and will directly go to support the development of OnionShare! 🧅✨
Thank you for supporting Lockdown Systems projects like OnionShare that helps journalists, activists, and anyone else who needs to communicate and share files online securely and anonymously 💜🐢

We believe privacy and free expression are fundamental rights—rights we can't afford to lose, which is why we build tools to safeguard them.
People rely on these tools to preserve evidence, tell their stories, and hold power to account.

Earlier this year, the US State Department announced it would delete every post on its official X accounts made before Trump returned to office in 2025.
Deleting years of previous government posts that should be easily accessible to the public is dangerous and antidemocratic, to say the least.
At Lockdown Systems, we thought this information should remain accessible to the public. So we backed them up.
