Facebook[official]

what is facebook?

yes - that facebook. since 2014 the social network has operated an official tor mirror, making it one of the largest companies with a permanent .onion presence. the address above is issued and signed by facebook itself and gives you the same accounts, profiles and news feed as the clearnet site, reached entirely through the tor network.

facebook's motivation is practical: a large share of its users live in countries that restrict the platform, and tor offers a censorship-resistant route in. interestingly, tor traffic is also safer from facebook's side - logins coming through the mirror are less likely to trip the platform's suspicious-login systems than logins via random vpns.

privacy expectations should stay realistic: facebook still knows who you are once you log in. what the onion address hides is your ip address from facebook and the existence of the connection from everyone else. our checker verifies the mirror's reachability through tor continuously - see the badge and uptime figures below.

before you trust any of this

• .onion addresses are long on purpose. one wrong letter = someone else's server.
• if a service matters to you, cross-check its address against its own clearnet site or PGP-signed announcements.
• a green badge here means "reachable", never "trustworthy". we report reachability only.
