Lucky Green , one of earliest contributors anonymous browsing service Tor , has announced he is leaving and shutting down the node and bridge authority he created . In a message , Green said he had " reasonable concerns " following " recent events " , and said Tonga the Bridge Authority would be " permanently shut down " . Nonetheless, I feel that I have no reasonable choice left within the bounds of ethics, but to announce the discontinuation of all Tor-related services hosted on every system under my control. Green gave Tor until 31 December to set up a replacement , and confirmed cryptographic keys will be destroyed on that date . Earlier this year , core member Jacob Applebaum left the project , several days before allegations of " sexual mistreatment " circulated in the media .
