Transcript

Hello everybody. My name is Kurt Absol and I'm here to support the tour project and the internet freedom ecosystem. I've known the tour project since we incubated at the Electronic Frontier Foundation some 20 years ago. And tour has long been essential for helping people protect their rights online. But it takes a village, an ecosystem of privacyenhancing technologies that work together to give you more options to protect yourself and protect your privacy.

So help support the technologies that help support you and please give some funding to the internet freedom ecosystem. Thank you.
