Since December 1st, some Internet providers in Russia have started to block access to Tor. Today, we've learned that the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media (Roskomnadzor), a Russian government bureaucratic entity, is threatening to censor our main website (torproject.org). Russia is the country with the second largest number of Tor users, with more than 300,000 daily users or 15% of all Tor users. As it seems this situation could quickly escalate to a country-wide Tor block.

Main TOR site also is banned in Russia.

Scared bureaucracy is trying to copy Chinese methods, but both of them will face same fate.

The pandemic has greatly increased wealth inequality. It is noted that approximately 2,750 billionaires control 3.5% of the state of the entire world, while in 1995 this share was only 1%.

During the pandemic, global wealth inequality rose at a record pace, according to the study. According to researchers, the combined wealth of the poorest half of all humanity is equal to only 2% of the wealth of the richest people in the world.

Income inequality is greatest in the Middle East and North Africa, where the richest 10% of the population owns almost 60% of the region's total income. Sub-Saharan Africa (57%) is in second place, followed by Latin America (55%) and South and Southeast Asia (53%).

In Russia and the countries of Central Asia, the richest 10% of citizens own 48% of total income, in North America - 45%. Property inequality is least expressed in Europe - the wealthiest 10% of the population have 36% of total income.
