It’s accessible through Tor Browser and similar apps.
Twitter’s onion service has been in the works far longer and has benefits that go beyond simply accessing a blocked platform, however. It forces people to use Tor’s network, since it doesn’t work with ordinary browsers, and it protects against some security risks introduced by standard web addresses. “If you are running Tor Browser and click [or] type in exactly the proper onion address, you are guaranteed to be connected to what you expect — or not at all,” explains Muffett.
Having a distinct access path also helps platforms like Facebook and Twitter more easily monitor malicious activity that takes advantage of Tor without blocking or degrading service for good-faith users. Even if most people don’t use Tor to access Twitter, it’s an improvement for the ones who do — and a move toward greater mainstream acceptance for the system.Subscribe to get the best Verge-approved tech deals of the week.
