It allows access to platforms in the Tor network, which you can often hear when exploring concepts like “dark web” and “deep web”, which we cannot access with the standard ISP DNS..onionThe extension is also still used by some major platforms.

For example tweetSince last year, it has started offering access to the platform through the domain name ‘.onion’. But the company did nothing during the time it had to renew its domain name. So Twitter’s ‘.onion’ service ended automatically.

There may be no such thing as “Certificate not renewed accidentally”:

When you try to access Twitter’s website with the extension .onion, you see an error message that the extension is no longer verified. Also the certificate As of March 6 declared obsolete.

On the other hand, the architect of the .ui extension The Tor Projectannounced that it had previously informed Twitter that the certificate was about to expire. But Alec Muffett, who helped the company with Twitter’s service last year, offers a clue as to why no action was taken:

“The people who built it — at least everyone I’ve interacted with — are all gone (fired or bankrupt).”

What brought the .onion extension to Twitter?

The features that the .onion extension offers for Twitter consist entirely of the extension and the benefits of the Tor network. Tor Network, approached completely anonymously Being an encrypted network, users can hide their location and identity information. This was actually seen as a measure by Twitter against censorship.

At this point, of course, it’s helpful to issue a major warning: many of the links with the .onion extension may belong to platforms set up by malicious individuals.
