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 vie privée[2] et 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.
