On March 22, 2011, the Free Software Foundation announced that TOR wins the 2010 award for projects of social benefit.
"Using free software, Tor has enabled roughly 36 million people around the world to experience freedom of access and expression on the Internet while keeping them in control of their privacy and anonymity. Its network has proved pivotal in dissident movements in both Iran and more recently Egypt."
