Stanislava

I'm a political activist, part of a semi-criminalized minority.

Ich benutze Tor, um mich an der Bürgerinitiative gegen Atomwaffen zu beteiligen. Das ist ziemlich gefährlich und Tor ist absolut notwendig.

Tor Browser is the last defense line of the free internet.

Israa

I'm in the UK. I do not face any direct threats or risks regarding my use of the internet, and solely use Tor to avoid mass surveillance of my browsing history.

Anti-Censorship

Encryption is essential for secure internet use. If communication services are not encrypted when discussing politics, it will be difficult to have a free discussion because people will be worried that government agencies may be eavesdropping.

Sunil

I'm using Tor for accessing the internet freely. I need it because in my country internet is censored.

Dakota

In a world in which the Patriot Act has removed basic protections guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment, US citizens have lost way too much in privacy rights to risk any transaction on an insecure platform.

Journalism isn't free and fair. You are free to say what you feel at the risk of job loss and prison for expressing anything contrary to the wishes of whoever is in power of your jurisdiction - you have that right to say it and suffer.

Kai

I live in Europe and am not by any means an important, critical or endangered person, but I have friends in other parts of the world tho whom anonymity and privacy through encryption is crucial. Encryption is the only way to ensure, they can securly voice their opinion.

Encryption is privacy, as simple as that. Privacy should be the default, giving away information should be the exception.

Alva

Ich bin eine Trans-Lesbe und würde lieber entscheiden, wem ich das erzähle.

Riley

The knowledge that I'm queer might lead a mob to my location (with potentially-deadly consequences) and ostracism from my family (on whom I'm currently economically dependent).

Online Safety

Ich brauchte dringend ein Mittel, um meine Online-Privatsphäre zu schützen, denn ich bin ein Opfer von Cyberstalking, dessen Online-Identität sowohl gestohlen als auch kompromittiert wurde.

Taimo

The risks I face from not using Tor are not immediate, and mostly focus around the government consolidating information on it's population and the potential for this to go wrong.

Ich benutze Tor Browser als meinen täglichen Browser, fast 100% der Zeit. Ich bin in den USA. Das Risiko für mich ist minimal, außer bei der Verfolgung von Firmengeschäften. In den letzten 4-5 Jahren habe ich den Tor-Browser benutzt, um mich mit "Tausenden" von Websites zu verbinden.
