+Nathan Freitas announced [XXX] the 13.0.6-beta release of Orbot, the Tor
+client for Android [XXX], “hopefully solving some of the most annoying
+issues around random disconnects of the UI to the background service,
+problems with binary installation, and a bit of an updated look and
+feel”. You can obtain a copy of the .apk file directly from the Guardian
+Project’s distribution page [XXX].

+Nathan also posted [XXX] a brief analysis of the role played by Orbot in
+the recent Turkish internet service disruption: “it might be good to
+think about Turkey’s Twitter block as a “censorship-lite” event, not
+unlike the UK or Indonesia, and then figure out how we can encourage
+more adoption.”
