New Home for the Blog's Technical Posts

The docs site is written for people new to anonymity networks and privacy, who may not yet know what Tor is. Posts that only make sense once you know Tor, cryptography or network measurement have moved to the new Articles section on the anoni.net home site. From now on this blog carries translations, analysis and regional observations written for a general audience.

A new home for the blog's community posts

From now on the docs blog carries translations, technical analysis and regional observations only. The 31 posts about events, project launches, progress reports and the community's positions have moved to the community updates on the home site, which is also where future community announcements will appear.

Docs site update review, September 2026

Docs site update review

The previous release went out on 2 September. Between then and the 20th, the docs site merged 140 pull requests. The Lab went live, the utilities grew from 9 tools to 15, nine worked examples string those tools into paths you can follow end to end, a settings drawer collects controls that used to be scattered, and the surveillance page gained a fifth tier. On the content side, three regional pages went up, one of them taking forty-nine public sources to pull apart identity binding and the data market beside it. The last two sections are for readers who acted on the old guidance.

Four cases in Anthropic's September 2026 threat report involve Taiwan, and here are the page numbers

On 10 September 2026 Anthropic published Detecting and countering misuse of AI: September 20261, a 154-page account of misuse it detected and disrupted between December 2025 and August 2026. The report is English-only and our community does not have the capacity to translate it in the near term, so we took on something smaller: a complete write-up of the sections that involve Taiwan and the Chinese state, each marked with its page number so readers can check the original.

The sections below aim to give readers who never open the report the full picture rather than fragments. Tables, figures and terminology follow the original as closely as possible.

Retracting what we published, and what changed on the docs site in the past two weeks

What changed on the docs site

Several pages changed over the past two weeks, and in most cases the change was to withdraw a passage rather than extend it. Hong Kong moved from medium to high risk for device inspection, the exemption for eSIMs bought outside Japan came out, a 2FA app we recommended turned out to have changed owners, and a blocking distribution drawn from 40 samples was recomputed over all 22,105. The site merged 50 pull requests between 27 July and 10 August, and a sizeable share of them went into corrections of this kind. What follows is page by page: what changed, what the evidence was, and a checklist in the middle for anyone who already prepared using the old guidance.
