I want to share an important article from the The Tor Project about how Turkmenistan turned internet censorship into a business 🧵

Officials block access to the open internet—then sell it back at a price. Tor, being free and effective, became a threat to their profit model 🔐

When censors become dealers, censorship becomes extortion.
