So we would like to start a membership/collective aspect of our privacy nonprofit calling it the User Liberation Network with the purpose of connecting technologist and users interested in user privacy and security. Is anyone interested in assisting with organizing the organization? We already have our 501c3 here in the states so it's more about creating an organization's rules, bylaws, purpose and activities. Along with recruitment efforts and ideas.

@kravietz
The issue for nonprofits come with the authorization and approval process by Facebook. I worked as the lead technologist on a Green Party campaign in NY and Facebook would not allow ads because they did not recognize the small city the candidate was from. So more specifically local nonprofits and small cities will end up not being able to use Facebook ads by default with the new approval process.

Anyone want to help privacytools.io with some somewhat tedious tasks? 😆

I'm trying to add i18n support to the site so we can get some translations up! But it means I need pretty much every English string to be copied to a separate file to be translated. Info @ github.com/privacytoolsIO/priv

For all the creatives out there. This is something I've been involved with - for me as a musician it creates a community of practice, where normally the actual creative practice is a very lonely one. I need people. If you need people, just to notice while you work, and want to share things as you build/create/make them, then this is a place for you:

YapNet.org (it's not a social site, it's a creative sandbox)
