Facebook, Inc. is not celebrated for its privacy policies or keeping user information safe from third parties. But even if people are practically giving away their life to advertisers, they still continue to use Facebook, probablybecause they think theres notrue way to socialize while keeping their privacy.

Good news is, there is now a way for you to use Facebook without all your actions being tracked. Facebook welcomed the dark net by providing official support for Tor via https://facebookcorewwwi.onion/. Prior to Facebooks official support, usingTor on the popular social networkwould flagthe user asa hacked account, and communication between Tor and Facebook wouldntstay encrypted. With this new support, the communication between Tor and Facebook remains encrypted, giving users the option of using the service without giving away all their other information, such as their current location.

Its not so much protecting people from governments, but protecting from people who are spying on communications that could be anyone from criminals to marketers, said Dr Steven Murdoch, from University College London, who Facebook consulted for the project.
