Disclaimer: This is a place for me to collect evidence and news on the story. I am currently not personally or professionally involved with anyone from the Tor Project. I will source everything as thoroughly as possible; however, just because I include information or sources here does not mean I agree or disagree with it or them. I will only include information that is publicly available; any information that is given to me in confidence will not be published without the expressed consent of the sender. I do not condone the harassment of any individuals (accuser, accused, etc.) on the basis of information that is presented here. This repository is not published or represented, such as through "vanity" accounts, anywhere else online - any individual or media organization who republishes, mentions, or promotes this investigation repository is not in any way affiliated with me unless expressly stated otherwise here.
If you have questions, concerns, or information, feel free to contact me. Anything you send me, if it is not already publicly available, will not be published here without your consent. If you are okay with it being public, you can also submit an Issue (if you're not familiar with GitHub, it's like a comment section).
