Hey All, A pro-democracy activist living in a country with an authoritarian regime sends the following questions anonymously to our list:
- Our country's communication system is under constant surveillance. What's the best way to circumvent this system? - What do you think of Hotspot Shield VPN (and all other VPNs for that matter)? - The activist also asks about the security and privacy of Signal, Wicker, Riot, Tor, and so on, and whether these solutions can be used in any country or whether they're country-specific. We have discussed these questions extensively over the years, but regimes and activists are constantly adapting and new solutions are continuously being developed. So an updated discussion is likely warranted. Looking to the future, I'm wondering whether we should set up a wiki (should it not exist already) with the answers to the aforementioned questions and update it regularly so that the information is readily available to anyone without having to go through hoops to ask us. In the meantime, please feel free to answer the questions publicly (with the list as a whole) or privately (with me). Thanks, Yosem
