Meet Snowflake Volunteer: Tor's Android app that lets you help people bypass censorship

Tor unveils Snowflake Volunteer as a standalone Android app
The app lets users share their open internet connection
It is the result of a collaboration between Tor and Bloco

The team behind the censorship-resistant Tor Browser has unveiled Snowflake Volunteer — a standalone Android app that lets you help people living in restricted countries bypass internet censorship.
