>> Tor Weekly News June 11th, 2015
>> ========================================================================
>>
>> Welcome to the twenty-third issue in 2015 of Tor Weekly News, the weekly
>> newsletter that covers whatâs happening in the Tor community.
>>
>> Blocking-resistant communication through domain fronting
>> --------------------------------------------------------
>>
>> David Fifield, lead developer of the meek [1] pluggable transport,
>> co-authored a paper [2] entitled âBlocking-resistant communication
>> through domain frontingâ, the technique that meek (along with other
>> software such as Lantern and Psiphon) uses to ensure that its
>> connections to the Tor network canât be blocked by a censor without
>> incurring significant collateral damage. The paper is based on the
>> experience of operating domain-fronting systems on the real network.
>> Congratulations to the researchers on this milestone in their project!
>>
>> David also published the monthly summary of costs [3] incurred by the
>> infrastructure for meek. Rate-limits have now been imposed on some
>> backends in order to keep the operating costs sustainable. This
>> sophisticated pluggable transport is a vital tool for thousands of users
>> in areas that censor all other circumvention systems, so if you know of
>> (or are) a friendly funder looking for a worthy project to support,
>> please let the community know!

>> The Art of Dissent
>> ------------------
>>
>> Laura Poitras, Pulitzer Prize-winning director of the Academy
>> Award-winning âCitizenfourâ and public advocate for Tor and Tails [4],
>> documented a collaboration between the Tor Projectâs Jacob Appelbaum and
>> artist Ai Weiwei â both of them âartists, journalists, dissidents,
>> polymaths â and targetsâ â involving a âzone of hyper-surveillanceâ,
>> shredded NSA documents, and several cuddly toy pandas.
>>
>> Lauraâs film is available to view on the New York Times website [5] as
>> part of its âOp-Docsâ series, accompanied by an article in which Laura
>> describes her interest in âthe way being watched and recorded affects
>> how we act, and how watching the watchers, or counter-surveillance, can
>> shift powerâ.

>> coding/organizational work), Israel Leiva [7] (leading the GetTor
>> project), Sukhbir Singh [8] (working on Tor Messenger, TorBirdy, and
>> GetTor), and Arlo Breault [9] (also developing Tor Messenger, and
>> maintaining Tor Check).
