Also for what it's worth, surveying in much of Africa is incredibly challenging for a variety of reasons. I'd be cautious in trusting it. On Tue, Aug 16, 2016, 9:23 PM Chris Csikszentmihalyi wrote: > Hi Arjuna, > > Just a quick note that usage can be quite different across

Re: [liberationtech] Academic Literature on Self-Censorship

Actually, there is a lot of excellent theoretically driven work on self-censorship generally, in authoritarian regimes, and in post-Soviet countries. Look first toward the political science literature. This piece of mine focuses on women in Azerbaijan with regard to self-censorship:

Re: [liberationtech] VOA - Circumventing Censorship guide?

Great points Nick. This is challenging. Up-to-date recommendations are hard to give as services change. And, generally, these guides don't know their target -- are they trying to help a clueless novice user or an advanced user? Both need help! And what about translation? I have yet to see a good

Re: [liberationtech] A modest proposal for protecting the work (and freedom) of activists.

Not to be a downer here, but until this is addressed: - security is incredibly easy to use - security does not slow down the internet or the computing power - security does not attract the attention of security services then all the training in the world isn't going to make people take these
