This is a very important piece. I just introduced into a thread on Twitter. And this graph by you seem right on point:
While by no means the only grounded model for digital security, our contextual security approach attempts to address a gap recognized by researchers and practitioners alike: most digital security training is ineffective. By asking organizers these questions before they start learning about a new tool like GPG or Chatsecure or Tor, we hope organizers and activists will begin to understand that software solutions are only one piece of a larger puzzle in securing political organizers and social movements. Digital security depends on a holistic diagnosis of our communication practices, risks, and opportunities. The activity shared above is one of many, and we hope it can be helpful in your work. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [liberationtech] Contextual security > From: Seeta Peña Gangadharan <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, June 02, 2014 10:30 am > To: Liberation Technologies <[email protected]> > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi all, > > A couple of us stateside have been thinking about why "Johnny can't > encrypt" in relation to social justice organizing and movements, and > here's a blog post that outlines a few thoughts. > > https://www.alliedmedia.org/news/2014/05/30/put-away-your-tinfoil-hat-security-context > > It's penned by myself, Emi Kane, and Becky Hurwitz, and we ask > U.S.-based organizers and activists to adopt a holistic approach when > doing digital security.
