-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: Digital Insecurity of Activists Date: Sat, 8 Oct 2016 17:23:45 -0700 From: John Woodside <jwoodsi...@gmail.com> I’m a researcher and journalist with the Liu Institute for Global Issues at the University of British Columbia and am working on a project forOpenCanada.org <http://opencanada.org/>, supported by the Centre for International Governance Innovation and the Munk School of Global Affairs,that is investigating people’s exposure to conflict and repression through their use of digital technologies. We are looking to gather perspectives on one issue we are addressing: the targeting of civil society organizations and activists for hacking, surveillance, online threats, and other actions that put people at risk or stifle their voices. We are reaching out to individuals in the security, advocacy, policy and academic communities, to solicit suggestions for improving the digital security of activists. We are doing so, in part, to contribute to the public debate around the Canadian federal government’s current Consultation on Cyber Security. We are hoping that you might be willing to share your insights or recommendations. We have created a short questionnaire <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MPWJL2B>that people can fill out. We will publish an edited version of people’s responses on OpenCanada.org <http://opencanada.org/>later this month. Of course, we are more than happy to share any comments we would attribute to you before publishing them. We do ask that you provide an email in the questionnaire so that we are able to get in touch should we want to ask follow up questions, or to send me an email directly to let me know you have completed the questionnaire so that I can follow up as necessary.
