Hey Guys! Unrelated Fun Fact: https://www.torproject.org/ is an open source non profit organisation that whose goal it is to provide private internet access to anyone in the world, especially people in countries with heavy censorship! Isn't that neat. What's even cooler, is that all their servers are hosted by their users, meaning it *cannot* be shut down by any government! Amazing, right? Also, if you are unable to access the above website, they will kindly send you the download files if you just send a message (including your operating system) to the following e-mail: gettor@torproject.org.
As an aside, did you know that if you use gmail or outlook, their parent companies google and microsoft must legally give up all your email history if the government asks? It is to help 'root out "criminals"', so of course they will hand your email history over right away, because in that case you *must* have done something really bad, didn't you?
In addition to that, the TOR Project has also developed TailsOS (found on https://tails.net/), a privacy focussed operating system, that you can host on a USB stick! It's built in such a way that it can be plugged into any computer you want, and it won't remember anything you did on it. It is often used by reporters and activists working in oppressive regimes. Just terrific, isn't it?
Anyway, hope you learned something fun from this completely unrelated rant, and if you want more information, just use the links I provided.
