Now that the twitter tor onion site's certificate has expired, you will be warned when you visit it and you will land on an error page if you proceed. Twitter's onion site is "probably unavailable without renewal plans," according to The Tor Project, the nonprofit organization responsible for maintaining the software for the Tor network. According to Pavel Zoneff, head of communications at, The Tor Project took to Twitter to ask about the onion version of the social network.Themedia platform is available
now. Now there's a less secure way for those who rely on onion services to get an extra layer of security and ensure they're seeing the information they need.However, it's worth noting that you can still access Twitter with the Tor browser.Shortly after Russia blocked its citizens from accessing the site, Twitter launched the Tor service. The Tor service allows you to browse websites that are said to be blocked in your country by bypassing censorship. It also protects you from eavesdropping by encrypting communications and providing anonymization features. You can use it anywhere, but it can be especially useful for people living in countries with stricter censorship rules like China and North
Korea.Corporation has yet to disclose whether it intends to revive the Tor service. Alec Muffett told The Verge that every employee he met at the company "walked away" after helping Twitter developers implement Tor services last year. "By the time Elon [Musk] gets interested," she said, "I'm pretty sure he'll stop working altogether."After taking power, Musk fired hundreds of employees, many of whom supported his vision for the company. Musk then bought Twitter in 2022.In January, CNBC said only 1,300 of the 7,500 employees who worked for Twitter before the takeover remained. With Musk now seemingly focused on generating revenue from Twitter and not many people working for the company anymore, his Tor service may be down for a while, if not forever.
