I propose that people stop sending money to trusted third-parties and instead send that money to a project (e.g. through Open Sats or EFF) to build something better than Tor. A better-than-Tor is entirely possible, so we are not permanently fucked. But until a better-than-Tor is built, we are all currently fucked, for two reasons:

The folks at the Tor Foundation are probably knowledgeable enough to build a better-than-Tor, but their resources are focused on keeping Tor working. That's why I propose another project to solve the global-surveillance problem.

But I don't know what that project would look like, since so few people seem to even be aware of this problem. And why would anyone care to investigate this problem when every YouTuber promotes VPNs that say they protect against Big Brother surveillance (despite the fact that they don't and can't).
