I would much prefer that we focus on privacy and not security. Privacy
as a concept is something that people can relate to, and would be a
stronger campaign on its own, in my opinion.

 - Tentative agreement for Karen to reach out to the Tor Project
 (https://www.torproject.org) and others for a campaign related to
 Privacy and Security.

I've had a bit of a think about Tor integration from a design point of
view, and have filed a bug [1] against Settings. It could make sense,
but it will need more research before we can make a decision.

Tor will be a big battleground over the next year - with all sorts of

avoid tracking, versus law enforcement and facilitation of illegal activity.


I would be very happy to see GNOME take a strong stance in defence of 
personal liberty and freedom from tracking - I think there's a huge 
opportunity for us to team up with groups like Mozilla and EFF, who are 
thinking a lot about the issue of tracking on the web, and make a group

enforcement, with the end result of a practical erosion of our freedoms.

Yeah, do you have any concrete suggestion?
I'm happy to integrate more options on the site or give out credential to do 
that.
Before that, we would have to talk about our workflows to handle other reward 
options though.

I'm with you 100% Dave! I would love to see us partner with Tor, EFF,
Mozilla, etc on such a project to speak out and show how we are
working to protect our and everyone elses' freedoms online. We could
make the FoG Campaign about Freedom  Privacy Online which is what
we are really talking about.

The biggest 'disadvantage' to Tor as I understand it comes from the
hit you take in overall network performance, which can be
considerable, and is highly variable depending on the speeds you get
through the nodes Tor chooses. If you get unlucky and hit a node run
by somebody with a crappy connection like me, it can be considerable
:) But sometimes the privacy it provides trumps the hit in speed you
take - and for many people who are 'just surfing around' its not a big
deal.

HTH!

I think you need to be pretty careful about how you word these kinds of
statements. If you are trying to take on the task of countering a case that
includes such serious charges you really need to also partner with
organizations that have substantial credibility and are known for defending
people who are being wrongfully charged (the ACLU comes to mind, although
they are seen in some circles as being partisan). Otherwise you run the
risk of looking like an organization that defends freedom at all costs. I
don't think the EFF is well known enough to stand that test, at least in
the United States.

 Who's with me? Should we reach out to Gary Kovacs and others at Mozilla
 and
  EFF to see if we can't help create an Alliance for Personal Internet

Perhaps it might be an idea to hand off organisation of the stand to the
