An Onion for Repro Uncensored
When digital surveillance threatens reproductive freedom, privacy and anonymity are the last line of defense. That’s why Repro Uncensored and the Tor Project teamed up to launch a censorship-resistant .onion site—ensuring access to reproductive health information and protecting bodily autonomy in the digital age without fear of criminalization.
“At Repro Uncensored, we receive reports every day from organizations and individuals who run into barriers trying to access or share reproductive health information. It can come with serious risks - especially for people in hostile legal environments. We partnered with Tor because we trust its long-standing commitment to privacy and resistance to censorship. Tor allows us to keep information available for those who need it most, without exposing them to surveillance and risk of criminalization. I think of Repro Uncensored as both a shield and a space to experiment - a place where we can test censorship-resistant infrastructure and privacy-preserving practices that can be adapted by other organizations and movements navigating similar threats.”
- Martha Dimitratou, Co-Founder and Digital Director, Repro Uncensored

WebTunnel Celebrates One Year of Comabting Cyber Censorship
On World Day Against Cyber Censorship, we were proud to celebrate WebTunnel's first anniversary with the conclusion of our recent community campaign. The Tor community came together and successfully deployed 207 new WebTunnel bridges—exceeding our goal—and bringing our total from 60 to over 300 bridges. We're incredibly grateful to all our volunteers and supporters who made this campaign successful. Your feedback, bug fixes, and documentation improvements have been invaluable.
WebTunnel has proven especially effective in heavily censored regions like China, Iran, and Russia, often outperforming other methods in reliability and speed.
Join our fight against internet censorship: run a WebTunnel bridge, use Snowflake in your browser, or help test Tor tools by becoming an alpha tester. Tor's community-driven model is one of the remaining strongholds against increasing online censorship and surveillance.
