This sound interesting. #ChrisHedges talks to Yasha Levine about how the internet, from its inception, was created as a tool of mass surveillance.

This is undoubtedly the most promising Post-Quantum TLS deployment situation I have seen for #Tor since we started discussing it more actively in the team. Very exciting!
I hope that OpenSSL 3.5, when released, will make it into #Debian Trixie. That would make deployment of this so much more snappy and easy for the Tor network to upgrade, but that may be dreaming. The timelines here look quite difficult for that to happen, but let's hope.

OpenSSL, unlike BoringSSL, did not require us to make any additions to our codebase (BoringSSL required the PQ-KEM to be enabled explicitly via a function call): the ML-KEM is enabled by default, which will do wonders for adoption as OpenSSL 3.5 gets bundled in more and more OS distributions over time.
However, we did need to modify #Tor slightly to be less conservative with which TLS cipher suites it is willing to use. I will talk with the team about what we do here to get this fixed soon.
Trying out the Post-Quantum TLS feature (called ML-KEM) in #OpenSSL 3.5-beta1 and #Tor was a success! 
The experiment is using the same setup as we did with #BoringSSL back when they enabled the Kyber768/x25519 TLS 1.3 group: we use a Tor binary, compiled against a PQC-enabled lib(ssl|crypto), to run a Bridge Server locally and connect a local Bridge Client to the server.
The branch used for this experiment is available from https://gitlab.torproject.org/ahf/tor/-/commits/ahf/openssl-3.5-pqc-experiments

Lo and behold, #OpenSSL 3.5 (their upcoming LTS release) will come out here at the beginning of April, and it does indeed support some of these hybrid PQC schemes. Their recent beta2 announcement can be read here: https://openssl-library.org/post/2025-03-25-openssl-3.5-beta/ and their roadmap is at https://openssl-library.org/roadmap/index.html
Very excited by this work. Big kudos to the OpenSSL Team here! 
Already planning on giving this a spin with the C implementation of #Tor later this week to see how it goes!
OpenSSL Library · OpenSSL 3.5 Beta Release AnnouncementThe OpenSSL Project is pleased to announce that OpenSSL 3.5 Beta1 pre-release is released and adding significant new functionality to the OpenSSL Library.
Un Ordine Esecutivo di #Trump blocca i pagamenti all'#OpenTechnologyFund. Da essi dipendono servizi #FOSS critici come #FDroid, #TOR e #LetsEncrypt. Abbiamo bisogno di un impegno serio da parte dell'Unione Europea nello sviluppo di alternative FOSS prima possibile, è seriamente una questione di sicurezza molto più che di principio.

Looking at my standalone Snowflake proxy metrics
Iran = 386
US = 136
Russia = 90
China = 42
Germany = 36
UK = 20
Ukraine = 12
France = 12
India = 10
Canada = 8
I wonder why's there a lot of Americans using Snowflake? I get why with Iran, Russia and China but I don't think America's a censored country lol

#Trump ha interrotto i fondi destinati all’Open Technology Fund, un ente che da oltre un decennio finanzia strumenti digitali per la libertà online.
Questi fondi rappresentano la quasi totalità del budget dell'#OTF e sono essenziali per il sostegno di numerosi progetti, tra cui #Let'sEncrypt, la rete di anonimizzazione #Tor e il negozio di applicazioni open-source #F-Droid, che l’anno scorso hanno ricevuto rispettivamente 800mila, 500mila e 396mila dollari.
