Let’s be clear, the need for onion services, the use of privacy-focused browsers, and other forms of encryption to protect people's anonymity online still persists.

Twitter’s Most Important Anti-Censorship Tool Is Currently Dead

Twitter launched its Tor onion service at the onset of Russia's invasion of Ukraine to help people connect to the social network. That site is now dead.

Let's be clear, the need for onion services or the need for others like I2P.

Users can still connect to the clearnet version of twitter.com via Tor. What additional privacy does a onion service give to the end user, that HTTPS over Tor doesn't give already?

Twitter matters little. TOR is somewhat irrelevant. Various governments want to ban anonymity under the guise of proving you're over 18. The only real way to do that is providing a photo ID ~ okay, maybe give them a credit card
(yes it's BS and easier to get around than a bar bouncer but that's what they want)

Good riddance, it never worked anyway. I tried to make an account there recently and it was nothing but endless captchas until it demanded a phone number. Haven't touched it since.
