Tor and Tails Team Up for Better Online Privacy Protections
Quoting: Tor and Tails Team Up To Strengthen Online Privacy Protections —
The merger of two popular open-source communities could sharpen the focus on bolstering online privacy and web-surfing anonymity.
The Amnesic Incognito Live System, or Tails, and the anonymity network Tor Project, short for The Onion Router, announced in late September a merger to unite operations and resources from both software communities into a single entity. The merger started in late 2023 when the Tails leadership needed a solution to having maxed out operational funds. Both entities decided to share the common goal of online anonymity.
A joint statement explained that the merger solved expansion and operational issues for both parties. Tails developers could avoid independently expanding operational capacity by combining with the Tor Project’s “larger and established operational framework.”
