They did some internal measurements and realized that the number of people connecting to Facebook over Tor was growing and had become huge: https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-over-tor/1-million-people-use-facebook-over-tor/865624066877648/ To put that into context, that means something like 1 out of every 1000 Facebook users connected to Facebook over Tor in the month of April 2016. And see also "part one" of https://blog.torproject.org/facebook-hidden-services-and-https-certs So yes, they needed an internal champion to get them to do the measurements, but after that the measurements spoke for themselves. --Roger -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
