"History of Tor"
Shava Nerad
Founding executive director of the Tor Project

   "Today, Tor is infrastructural to a great deal of the journalism in
trouble spots all over the world. We are a major grantee of the Knight
Foundation. We were recognized with a 2012 Pioneer Award from the
Electronic Frontier Foundation for our seminal work for Internet
Freedom. We are in the basic toolkit of the resistance to tyranny in
the Arab Spring, in Syria, and in every place in the world where free
speech, free expression, and a free press is under threat, online."
