Last year, a stable source of internet freedom funding was unceremoniously cut off, grants rescinded, and organizations left in the lurch—with users in peril and programs shut down.
So far this funding has not re-materialized. If we want a free internet, if we want a private internet, if we want nonprofit internet (meaning, no extractive profit model), we have to collectively support the tools and software that makes that possible.
Today, @torproject has launched a funding campaign to support 10 internet freedom + privacy projects using the quadratic funding formula. The more individual donors participate, the more match funds each organization will receive!
This is an experiment, an optimistic pilot, a way to use Tor's platform to help the ecosystem. I hope you'll take a look!
