The use of social media, particularly Facebook, always entails the risk of surveillance and invasions of privacy. In many cases, there is a desire to use these platforms anonymously and to protect oneself from possible surveillance. Additionally, there can be censorship and access restrictions to social media in certain regions or under certain political regimes. It is therefore a challenging problem to find a solution in order to use Facebook safely, privately, and uncensored. It is also important that the platform's user-friendliness and functionality are preserved in the process.

The tool Facebook over Tor offers a secure solution for the problems described by enabling direct exchange with Facebook's basic infrastructure. It uses the Tor network, which carries out computationally intensive anonymization processes, thus enabling an anonymous connection. This process significantly complicates any attempt at surveillance or censorship, as the user's identity and location remain hidden. In addition, the communication is further encrypted, forming an additional security layer and augmenting data protection. With Facebook over Tor, users can maintain their privacy and protect themselves from prying eyes. Nevertheless, the familiar operability and functionality of Facebook are preserved. It effectively combines privacy protection with uncomplicated use of the social network.
