There is a growing number of people who no longer feel safe in their own home or country. Whatever the reason, many people might not feel safe to browse certain topics online.

Privacy is a human right, but getting more people to care about it is frankly (and literally!) a full-time job.
2025 has seen some of the worst attacks on privacy to date, and it has also represented the greatest commitment to our work our team has ever made.
Going into 2026 and beyond, we really need the support from all of our followers to keep our staff fed & housed and to keep our momentum going.

If we've put out anything you've found helpful this year, this will determine the future of that work. Please read my message on our forum for more info:
