Hi Lina, While the content isn't encrypted for most of their apps, I would recommend Sandstorm as a good hosted option for forums and other collaborative apps. It's free for up to 5 apps (called "grains") and up to 200MB storage. For more, it's $9 a month: https://sandstorm.io/ For

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Perhaps a good balance would be to set up a closed email discussion list with a host you trust who has strong privacy guarantees as Miles recommended (Greenhost can provide you with Mailman, or Electric Embers has a great security reputation). And

Hello all-- Thank you all for your advice. I appreciate it. (For those of you who wrote off-list, I will write separately.) Just a quick note that I believe the group will include survivors who are currently dealing with criminal cases or civil litigation. There is also the possibility of

Re: [liberationtech] Need some advice re: online secure communications platform for a survivors group

That may be - though some of the PGP solutions are pretty close to one-click install these days. The old Napster never seemed to phase anybody. Maybe, whomever is organizing the group needs to spend a little time picking a system and writing up a how-to-install checklist. The reality is

Re: [liberationtech] Need some advice re: online secure communications platform for a survivors group

Hello Miles. I think your suggestions are not practical for an ad hoc group of sexual assault survivors. You're talking about them using PGP, downloading open source clients, or using untested blockchain systems. I think for a random group of people, all of these will fail in practice due to poor

Re: [liberationtech] Need some advice re: online secure communications platform for a survivors group

Personally, I'd recommend staying away from any kind of hosting service - stick with a peer-to-peer system designed for privacy. One, really simple notion would be to simply use encrypted email, perhaps over a list server. It's a pain, but straightforward. It does, however expose group

I can not believe people are actually advising to use Google or things hosted by SpiderOak but these solution might be secure but used for advertisement purposes as well. Not sure if somebody already suggested this but here is a list provided by huridocs: https://www.huridocs.org/?p=4833 also

Re: [liberationtech] Need some advice re: online secure communications platform for a survivors group

Hello Lina, I'm not sure what "high security levels" means, but given that this group wants to discuss extremely personal and sensitive topics (namely sexual assault / rape), choosing the services of a data company such as Google, whose business model it is to access, analyse and sell private

I'd use Google Apps for Nonprofits: http://www.google.com/nonprofits/ It's simple, familiar, and the security is good enough for enterprise businesses. On Sun, Jul 10, 2016 at 4:56 PM Lina Srivastava wrote: > Hello all, > > A new support group for survivors of campus

[liberationtech] Need some advice re: online secure communications platform for a survivors group

Hello all, A new support group for survivors of campus sexual assault is looking for a secure online communications platform. The group is not one of my clients, nor am I a member of or advisor to the group -- I am passing this request along as a favor -- so I have relatively little information
