The main entity in this text is Facebook^[1]’s onion address. An “onion address” is a special kind of web address used to access websites through the Tor network, which allows for increased privacy^[2] and security^[3]. In October 2014, Facebook announced its own onion address, facebookcorewwwi.onion, becoming one of the first major companies to do so. This move was aimed at reducing errors when accessing Facebook through Tor and distinguishing genuine Tor users from botnet accounts. As of 2016, over a million people were accessing Facebook via its onion address every month. In May 2021, the address was updated to a version 3 onion address due to vulnerabilities in version 2. This updated address is facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion. While praised for allowing users to bypass censorship, it’s worth noting that not all tech companies, like Google^[4], operate sites through Tor.

Terms definitions

It is known for its user-friendly interface and various features such as Groups, the Developer Platform, and Facebook Dating. Despite facing criticism for issues like privacy breaches and the spread of fake news, Facebook has remained a dominant player in the online world. It has made significant strides in the field of technology, including the development of its unique data storage system, the use of PHP for its platform, and the launch of the Hack programming language.

2. ↑ privacy. Privacy is a fundamental concept that has evolved throughout history and continues to shape our societal discourse.

Privacy also entwines with legal and ethical issues, as seen in landmark Supreme Court cases and revelations like those from Edward Snowden. Technological advancements have both challenged and enhanced privacy, introducing new threats and protective measures. Globally, privacy standards vary, with different countries and international organizations setting their guidelines. In today's digital age, privacy faces new challenges and considerations, such as social media use, selfie culture, and location-based services. This concept encompasses an individual's right to keep their personal information secret and free from unsanctioned intrusion.
