We are terribly sad to lose such valuable teammates, and we want to let all our users and supporters know that Tor will continue to provide privacy, security, and censorship circumvention services to anyone who needs them. We will move forward with a core team of 22 people and remain dedicated to continuing our work on Tor Browser and the Tor software ecosystem. We had to let go of 13 great people who helped make Tor available to millions of people around the world. Like many other nonprofits and small businesses, the crisis has hit us hard, and we have had to make some difficult decisions. Tor, like much of the world, has been caught up in the COVID-19 crisis. In a statement from Isabella Bagueros, Executive Director of the Tor Project, it was revealed that 13 staff have been let go, leaving it with just 22 full-time staff to maintain operations moving forward. The cutbacks have been forced upon the Massachusetts-based internet privacy focused non-profit as a result of the COVID-19 crisis which has seen donations dry up. The Tor Project has taken to its blog to announce that is has to lay off one-third of its workforce.
