Thu Sep 26 15:04:05 UTC 2024: ## Tails Merges with Tor Project to Expand Operations
**Amsterdam, Netherlands – September 27, 2024** – Tails, the popular privacy-focused operating system, has announced its merger with The Tor Project. This move comes as Tails has reached a point where expanding its operational capacity on its own would put undue strain on its team.
The Tor Project, with its established infrastructure and larger team, provides a more sustainable solution for Tails’ growth. By joining forces, the Tails team can focus on their core mission of developing and maintaining Tails OS while exploring new and complementary use cases. They will also benefit from The Tor Project’s broader organizational structure.
This merger is expected to significantly benefit both organizations. Tails users will continue to enjoy the same level of security and privacy, while the Tor Project gains a valuable asset in the form of Tails’ expertise and user base.
