[liberationtech] Burundi
We have noticed that Burundi bloggers are off-line. No doubt related to the President's crack down after the failed coup. Does anyone have any news as to whether this silence is due to: -Internet blackout? -Physical threat/imprisonment? -Fear? -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.

Re: [liberationtech] Burundi
The Burundians I am in contact with have not mentioned a new internet issue since blocking of whatsapp and facebook which was easily circumvented with the use of VPNs. I last heard from my colleagues about 8 hours ago. At least one of them was tweeting an hour ago. There is definitely a climate of fear at the moment and a lack of access to basic necessities in communities with large populations of opposition to Nkurunziza.

Re: [liberationtech] Burundi
That may be so, but Burundians are definitely online, as I noted one whom I know tweeting within the last hour or so.

Re: [liberationtech] Whatsapp + textsecure?
+1 to the question As a related issue, at a recent event I raised whether Whatsapp or textsecure could be a suitable replacement for SMS in interaction with clients in mobile health programs. It seems like it could be a more privacy-protecting technology to transmit sensitive health records than SMS, if open whisper encryption really is implemented. However, those in the field said that without a public API, whatsapp is not currently a suitable SMS alternative. Does anyone have more info on why/whether this assertion is true? Does textsecure have this problem solved?

Re: [liberationtech] Whatsapp + textsecure?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 IIRC Moxie mentioned something a while back about trying to implement some kind of transparent encryption/key exchange for WhatsApp, but for now there's really no telling what the app is actually doing Until WA gets that and the ability to manually compare fingerprints, Signal/Textsecure is far more trustworthy On 05/18/2015 12:08 PM, Brian Conley wrote: Anyone know with certainty whether whatsapp has actually implemented the textsecure encryption? -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVWhu3AAoJEOciqED1Gro8zN8P/3Z8P2Vih0DWJZDvKd1IlQ1c lDScBGfQHG5PhH+koVLml/ZvbS6Sem+SDXtxVslyuxtvGREgqsoFRtY357km/Uz6 GhSec/w5iRH6k3OpJi0vp7D4n0XXs5MxcDavcK+mV9ipkrkl9UCeTP7oUniFSqhq RivXczv5NpeNsi8DBdlN2UBxj7uruuy4Zb17xYNpbbQ9JUDoBzBLdLwXxkQ19PVU nHD6+eghNH9nCWwr5VJtHpYyAvqT5M6fHcmyZJ2AiRgMJki3iwlBmZHoCLhjtEvF ZKvKnrJiAckqswDOXfI0ctcDzPKq1F9X1caW6Z3bFa3FnGc0ySM9+WRmNIxsgROj O3KZHm5X18N93C2W/4JzG7Q4WJtDIZFdjPCvUsg3LhMgoNV+PTUiGTB30/EE/967 NktUq0UnYWIauL0DzFybImxXmp7sXhh2ReO0svFZbpgdPybI+TU82H/mVYkv/p7+ WzIrAsYZK1irkVSVfT0jA7a46K66lpCIUydiCRkt/iyf4akpTVp7Pz3Pbig7OIRo o/5CH8xZkz6papotX45wZEIfuBoekP94nS9H16eQTf2u1a7NpsutOq6eNTapxEL9 55t273VIbfhALSdKCWU1ZRq6H9exZTI+Nr/7An+zKF2OU99tlFrTzKZl1pmndkEX 88IuGUA/FUJJUH3E+kr6 =HtCl -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Liberationtech is public archives are searchable on Google.

Re: [liberationtech] Whatsapp + textsecure?
Hi Brian, I can only encourage you to read the announcement of the partnership: https://whispersystems.org/blog/whatsapp/ https://whispersystems.org/blog/whatsapp/ As stated in the post: Your messages may already be encrypted Messages are opportunistically encrypted (if both receiving and sending client support it). We’ll also be surfacing options for key verification in clients as the protocol integrations are completed. A partnership was announced, not a full deployment.
