Peeling Back the Layers with Isabela Bagueros of the Tor Project

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Josh and Tatiana are spending this episode of The Tatiana Show focused on privacy and they welcome Isabela Bagueros, Executive Director of the Tor Project to explain why privacy on the internet is important.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Isabela recounts how she first came to use the Tor browser and then began working for the Tor Project, eventually becoming its Executive Director. She also, very simply, likens the layers of encryption applied when connected to Tor to the layers of an onion… hence, the Onion Router.</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Previously, Tor users were able to use the browser to visit the web anonymously. The latest Tor project,  the open-source OnionShare, now allows users to offer and exchange content with the same encrypted protection.</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Isabela also addresses the term “dark web,” and explains that there is no such thing…at least, not as it exists in the imagination of people who are not familiar with how internet infrastructure works. What most people think of is the “dark web” is really just the “unindexed web.”  What Tor offers is not a doorway to some secret part of the internet, but privacy, security, and a way to circumvent censorship across the entire public internet and the network of unindexed sites and Onion servers.</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;">This is a must-hear episode for a concise explanation of how Tor works, why you need it, and how far it has come in providing security and privacy and where it goes from here.</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><span
