The purpose: providing an introduction to various online tracking techniques, online ID verification techniques, and detailed guidance to creating and maintaining (truly) anonymous online identities. It is written with the hopes that good people (e.g., activists, journalists, scientists, lawyers, whistle-blowers, etc.) will be able to fight oppression, censorship and harassment! The website and projects are free (as in freedom) and not affiliated with any donor or projects discussed.
