Twitter’s new Tor-based browsing service circumvents Russian censorship

On Friday, Russia blocked access to Twitter, engaging in the censorship that the free internet was intended to prevent. But just days later, Twitter announced its new onion service — an anonymous browsing tool that allows internet users to bypass government censorship. Twitter’s ordinary website has long been available via Tor, but the new onion address allows for better protection. The onion service is now on Twitter’s “supported browsers” page.

The address is https://twitter3e4tixl4xyajtrzo62zg5vztmjuricljdp2c5kshju4avyoid.onion. To access it, you’ll first have to download Tor Browser.
