My most recent open source project: https://unshort.link/
Prevent short link services from tracking you and remove tracking parameters from the underlying urls.
You can 100% host it yourself and its #GPLv3

This isn’t #privacy related, but the needs of humanity are above all else - Our small bubble of colleagues have already donated about 400 trees to the #teamtrees initiative to plant TWENTY MILLION trees by 2020.
Please consider donating.
Only $1 gets 1 tree planted.
+6 million have been donated in only three-ish days.
Keep the ball rolling until we hit 20 million!
@stman @torproject im asking you what supposedly happen at the conference.
@batalanto @danarel its purists like you who prevent making privacy accessible to the masses.

The internet was intended to be a free and open space to share information, but tracking, surveillance, and censorship are widespread online.
Let's take back the internet. https://torproject.org/donate/donate-tbi-md #TakeBacktheInternet
