## What Jamie wrote

I have plenty to gripe about with Twitter, but the platform has clear importance to communication online. I applaud this decision to _officially_ support the Tor network and create a version of Twitter that will be much harder for governments to deny their citizens access to.

> Twitter’s onion service is available at https://twitter3e4tixl4xyajtrzo62zg5vztmjuricljdp2c5kshju4avyoid.onion while using Tor Browser or a similar tool. While you could already access Twitter’s ordinary website via Tor, the newly launched version adds more layers of protection to the already anonymized browsing experience and is designed specifically for the network.

I'd love to see Twitter continue to add more options to make it increasingly difficult for any government to block access to the platform. 👏
