BBC News 'dark web' Tor mirror for Ukraine

The BBC has made its international news website available via the Tor network, in a bid to thwart censorship attempts.

The Tor browser is privacy-focused software used to access the dark web.

The browser can obscure who is using it and what data is being accessed, which can help people avoid government surveillance and censorship.

Countries including China, Iran and Vietnam are among those who have tried to block access to the BBC News website or programmes.

Then frowned when my employer's software blocked even ackowledging that the links were valid.

No matter. I can get to BBC, Guardian, Ukrinform, Unian.
