Tails is their strongest protection

At Tails, we build a liberating operating system that puts people in control of their digital lives:

• Journalisten und Whistleblower benutzen Tails, um Fehlverhalten von Regierungen und Konzernen aufzudecken.
• Activists use Tails to avoid surveillance and organize their struggles for liberatory social change.
• Domestic violence survivors use Tails to escape surveillance at home.
• Privacy-concerned citizens use Tails to avoid online tracking and censorship.

Tails is and will remain Free Software because the most vulnerable and oppressed people are the most in need of privacy and security.

Donations from passionate people like you are our most valuable source of funding because they guarantee our independence. We are a very small nonprofit and our yearly budget is ridiculously small compared to the value of Tails.

Wenn Sie sich ansehen, wie Whistleblower nach 2013 entdeckt wurden, wird klar dass das absolut wichtigste was Sie tun können um Ihre Anonymität zu bewahren ist, die Quellen möglicher Fehler in ihren operativen Aktivitäten wo Sie Fehler machen können zu reduzieren. Tor und Tails tun genau das nach wie vor.

— Edward Snowden,
NSA whistleblower

Tails expands Tor's protections to an entire operating system, and they do so with an unwavering commitment to their Social Contract. Tails is a favorite companion tool of Tor.

— Roger Dingledine,
co-founder of the Tor Project

Eine der effektivsten Arten um das Tor Netzwerk zu nutzen ist, durch ein dezidiertes Betriebssystem, das starke Voreinstellungen für Privatsphäre und Sicherheit erzwingt. Dieses Betriebssystem ist Tails.

— Electronic Frontier Foundation
