Snowflake is a system for bypassing Internet censorship. People who are
censored can use Snowflake to access the Internet.

If your Internet access is not censored, please consider installing
Snowflake to help users on censored networks.

Like a Tor bridge, a user can access the open Internet when even
regular Tor connections are censored. Using Snowflake is as simple as
switching to a new bridge configuration in the Tor browser.

The Snowflake system consists of three components: Volunteers who run
Snowflake proxies, Tor users who want to connect to the Internet, and a
broker that delivers Snowflake proxies to users.

You don't need to worry about the websites that users access through
your proxy. Their visible IP address will be the one of the Tor exit
node and not yours.

Russia has significantly expanded laws and regulations
tightening control over internet infrastructure, online
content, and the privacy of communications.

Russian authorities and multinational companies have
erected a digital barricade between the country and the West,
erasing the last remnants of independent information online.

Freedom of information is freedom of a person or people to
publish and consume information. Access to information is
the ability for an individual to seek, receive and impart
information effectively.

Freedom of information is related to freedom of expression,
which can apply to any medium, be it oral, writing, print,
electronic, or through art forms. This means that the protection
of freedom of speech as a right includes not only the content,
but also the means of expression
