Facebook has been accessible through Tor-enabled browsers since 2014, but starting today the social network is making another step in protecting your privacy. That's because the Facebook app for Android supports Tor now too.

What's the point of running Tor on FACEBOOK of all places?
If anything, that only tells them they should keep a closer eye on you.

    I guess the intention in this is hiding your location only...as you are already sharing personal info. The good in this is being able to post from countries that limit access like china...but the bad is organizations like ISIS being able to post unfettered...

          Using Tor wouldn't protect the 'privacy' of the Facebook user because Facebook is all about putting your personal info on it! What you do, what you like, what you feeling, what you dislike, what you smell. Regardless of any encryption you access the site, the website itself is basically storing data of your life situation.
