Tor wants to replace government donations with crowdfunding

Considering how the United States government’s feelings towards encryption and online anonymity have been like over the past couple of years, it’s no surprise that the Tor Project wants to seek other sources of funding. Despite being one of the few tools that can consistently combat government surveillance, the Tor Project actually receives 80-90% of its funding from the American government, which is why the organization ha started looking into crowdfunding as a way to find the financial support it needs to continue functioning.
