    BBC advice on using Tor to access the dedicated BBC dark net site. Reminder that Tor & the dark net is not just for 'the bad guys'.

    Advice on accessing BBC News To access the BBC, circumvention tools can be used, such as the Psiphon app (Android, iOS, Windows, Mac). The Tor Browser also has a dedicated BBC site, on this URL: https://www.bbcnewsd73hkzno2ini43t4gblxvycyac5aw4gnv7t2rccijh7745uqd.onion/ Please note the BBC site for Tor works only on the Tor Browser or a similar browser, such as the Onion Browser (for iPhones). If you find it difficult to get the two applications above from AppStore or Google Play Store, please send a blank email to get@psiphon3.com or gettor@torproject.org, respectively. You will then be sent an email with a direct and safe download link.

    Starting today, we're expanding our labelling of state-affiliated media content to links posted. This builds on our work since 2020 to label and not amplify state-affiliated media.

    Today, we’re adding labels to Tweets that share links to Russian state-affiliated media websites and are taking steps to significantly reduce the circulation of this content on Twitter. We’ll roll out these labels to other state-affiliated media outlets in the coming weeks.
