## General

of vendors coming to us wanting our endorsement and advice for their

and Tor is the leading brand in this space.

 - Conducted a number of press interviews about donations, Tor usage
spike in Russia, and Snowden revelations impact on Tor
 - Talked to some experts on human trafficking and female genital
mutilation and providing private support forums for victims
 - Had an odd phone call with the someone claiming to be a CIA analyst
interested in learning more about Tor and how it works. Their phone
number did resolve to the CIA HQ in Virginia.
 - Talked to a member of parliament in Iceland about Internet censorship
in Iceland.
