原题:到2026年推进数字权利需要我们所有人共同努力。
今年早些时候,有人问我数字权利与人权之间的联系。我当时也提出了自己的问题。今天,我想问你们同样的问题:
你上一次听说警察或军队伤害社区是什么时候?你是从哪里得知这一消息的?你上一次看到成千上万的人走上街头,呼吁立法改革是什么时候?你是从哪里看到那些照片的?这些人是如何得知这场抗议并决定加入的?
在这些例子中,信息借助互联网传播。如今,任何为争取人权而奋斗的人都在使用科技:在社交媒体上分享传单或照片,通过即时通讯应用与群组沟通,或通过电子邮件向他们的代表发送信息。
好处在于,科技使争取人权的斗争在全球范围内成为可能,因为我们能够看到彼此的行动并将其联系起来;然而,我们今天使用的大部分科技都由大型科技公司控制。这通常意味着这些公司会监视你如何使用这些技术,并通过直接审查、算法操纵和影子禁言等手段控制你所看到的信息。更糟糕的是,还有许多政府正在探索和开发用于压制和审查民众的技术。
没有数字权利就没有民主
这就是数字权利与人权之间的联系:在当今世界,我们争取自身权利的斗争与互联网和科技密不可分。一旦我们认识到所有变革运动在某种程度上都依赖于科技,我们就能明白,捍卫全球民主的斗争也同样与数字权利息息相关。到了2025年,这一点比以往任何时候都更加清晰。
从今往后,如果科技不被纳入讨论范畴,民主就无从谈起。今年,我们听到了很多关于“科技主权”的讨论,以及摆脱对大型科技公司和单一国家集中化服务的依赖的重要性。但是,如果我们不将数字权利纳入这一计划,单凭科技主权是无法拯救我们的。否则,科技主权很容易演变成威权主义的科技主权,每个国家都建立起各自封闭的互联网,就像俄罗斯和中国一直在为本国公民推行的那样。
没有你们的支持,就没有数字权利。
2025年,致力于数字权利的项目也面临着前所未有的资金挑战。许多数字权利项目失去了资金支持。
想想看:我们正处于一个民主制度脆弱的时代,在这个时代,抵抗运动以及捍卫民主和人权的斗争显得尤为重要。而在这个时代,如果没有科技的助力,几乎不可能做到这一切。在这个对世界至关重要的时刻,那些为抵抗运动提供保护和工具的主要项目却资金不足。
这场为世界争取更美好未来的斗争,需要包括支持致力于数字权利的项目。
因此,我呼吁我们的社区在2026年团结起来,支持这些项目。不仅是Tor项目,还包括所有致力于开发工具以确保您在数字世界中的权利得到保护的项目。这样,您就可以帮助我们在“线下”世界捍卫我们的权利。
Tor 在 2026 年维护我们数字权利方面所扮演的角色
人权的维护离不开那些适应不断变化的世界的个人、社群和技术。展望来年,Tor 将如何应对这一挑战?
我们秉持着清晰的愿景:通过各种工具让人们更容易行使隐私权和获取信息的权利,从而保持彼此之间的联系;同时,也让强大的对手更难切断这种联系。
实际上,这意味着我们需要改进应对审查事件的实时响应方式:推出Conjure 等新功能,试验新的可插拔传输方案,并将有效的绕过工具集成到更多 Tor 软件(例如 Tails和 Tor VPN)中。与此同时,我们也在扩展久经考验的方案的功能,以便在情况发生变化时用户依然可以信赖。我们正在为Snowflake开发更高效的传输模式,确保用户即使在审查者调整策略的情况下也能访问 Snowflake;同时,我们也在增强WebTunnel 的功能,使其能够在其他绕过工具难以应对的更多环境中正常工作。
我们还将加倍努力,确保 Tor 网络免受不断演变的攻击。其中一项优先事项是将反伽罗瓦洋葱 (CGO) ——一种旨在缓解对 Tor 网络攻击的新型加密防御机制——集成到洋葱服务中,同时还将采取其他措施来打击滥用 Tor 技术的行为。
最后,我们将继续努力,让洋葱服务更广泛地普及,使匿名、安全地发布信息以及触达受审查地区的用户变得更加容易。数百万依赖隐私保护技术的互联网用户必须能够轻松使用这项技术。确保其易用性和持续可用性是我们捍卫隐私的最有力手段之一。数字权利2026年的人权状况。
Advancing digital rights in 2026 will take all of us
by isabela | December 17, 2025
Earlier this year, I was asked about the connection between digital rights to human rights. I responded with my own questions. Today, I'm asking you those same questions:
When was the last time you learned about a police or military force harming a community? Where did you learn that information? When was the last time you saw hundreds of thousands of people on the street, calling for legislative change? Where did you see those pictures? How did those people learn about that protest and decide to join it?
In these examples, information is passed around with the help of the internet. Anybody fighting for human rights today is using technology: to share flyers or photos on social media, to communicate with a group on a messaging app, or to send messages to their representatives via email.
The upside is that technology makes the fight for human rights possible on a more global scale, because we can see and connect our movements together; however, most tech that we use today is controlled by Big Tech. That often means companies are conducting surveillance of how you use that technology and controlling the information you are shown through straight up censorship, algorithm manipulation, and shadow banning. As if that weren’t enough, there are many governments out there exploring and developing technology to repress and censor people.
There’s no democracy without digital rights
That is the connection between digital rights and human rights: You cannot untangle the fight to exercise our rights in the modern world from the internet and technology. Once you see that all movements for change depend, on some level, on technology, you can also see that the fight to defend democracies worldwide is equally connected to digital rights. In 2025 that has become clearer than ever.
From now on, there can be no defense of democracy where technology is not part of the conversation. This year we’ve heard a lot about “tech sovereignty” and the importance of breaking out from the dependency on Big Tech and centralization of services by one country. But tech sovereignty alone won’t save us if we don’t make digital rights a part of this plan. Otherwise, tech sovereignty can easily become authoritarian tech sovereignty, with each country creating its own walled-off internet, like Russia and China have been pushing for their citizens.
There are no digital rights without your support
2025 was also a year where projects working on digital rights faced unprecedented financial challenges. Many digital rights projects lost their backing.
Think about it: we are in a moment in the world where democracies are fragile, where resistance and the fight to protect democracy and human rights are incredibly important. And we are living a moment where it is almost impossible to do these things without the use of technology. At this crucial moment for the world, the main projects that are providing protection and tools for this resistance, are underfunded.
This fight to secure a better future for the world needs to include the support for projects working on digital rights.
So I am calling on our community to come together in 2026 and support these projects. Not only the Tor Project, but all of the projects that are working to build tools that ensure your rights are protected in the digital world. So you can help the fight for our rights in the “offline” world.
Tor's part in upholding our digital rights in 2026
Rights are upheld by people, communities, and technologies that adapt to a changing world. Here's what that looks like for Tor as we head into the next year.
We're continuing with a clear vision: make it easier for people to exercise their right to privacy and access to information with tools that keep us connected, and make it harder for powerful adversaries to break that connection.
In practice, this means refining how we respond to censorship events in real time: rolling out new features like Conjure and experimenting with new pluggable transports, and integrating effective circumvention tools into more Tor software like Tails and Tor VPN. At the same time, we're expanding the capabilities of battle-tested options that people can rely on when conditions change. We're working on a more efficient transport mode for Snowflake, so users can still reach it even as censors adapt, and we're making WebTunnel even more powerful, so it works in more environments where other circumvention tools struggle.
We'll also double down on keeping the Tor network safe against evolving attacks. One priority is implementing Counter Galois Onion (CGO), a new cryptographic defense designed to mitigate attacks on the Tor network, into onion services, alongside other initiatives to counter abuses of Tor technology.
Finally, we'll continue our work to make onion services more widely accessible, so publishing information in anonymous and secure ways, and reaching people in censored regions, becomes easier. Privacy-preserving technology has to be usable by the millions of internet users who depend on it for their protection. Ensuring their ease-of-use and continued availability is one of the most powerful ways we can defend digital rights human rights in 2026.
