Reminder that the Seattle-based, anarchist, tech collective, Riseup, has a free VPN. It's powered by user donations and can help if your ISP is blocking sites.

Switzerland-based ProtonVPN is another reputable choice for bypassing ISP censorship. Its free plan is subsidized by their paid plans.
But if you're looking for strong anonymity and privacy, use Tor!

Our stance on contact tracing is that it can be used to track dissidents, reporters, friends and families.

Looks like it is being used in Minneapolis to connect the dots of protestors, based upon this tweet.
Please reconsider your practices and software choices if you prefer to have your right to peacefully assemble be free from harassment and intelligence gathering.

i built a tool for quickly scrubbing metadata from images and selectively painting / blurring faces and identifiable features. it runs on a phone or computer directly in the browser, and doesn't send info anywhere:
@karan equally, I pay for many paper newspapers to be delivered to my door on a daily basis. I do this for 5 papers.
Journalism is the career path that I want to follow, so I am happy to reiterate this message.
Please, pay for your news.

I was wrong in my article "Governments Always Maintain Surveillance Tech Long After The Threat Is Contained". They actually use it for the wrong reason even when the threat hasn't been contained.

My dream for Mastodon is for it to be a viable choice as a publishing platform for any creator. In other words, for people to not feel like they're locked in to Twitter or Instagram if they want to be professionally successful.
@syntax wonder who could have enabled that instance move? 😉

Gang, it's time to come up with some new names and acronyms for what we do because the fascists have the upper hand on the marketing and branding of their authoritarian makeover of the USA.

This is a tool for anonymizing photographs taken at protests.
It will remove identifying metadata (Exif data) from photographs, and also allow you to selectively blur parts of the image to cover faces and other identifiable information.

Peaceful protest in Minneapolis. Share this. Post this. It’s not exciting, it’s not shocking, but it is POWERFUL.
