You won't to change "a hostile regime" in secret. If you have a movement, you're expanding. Hence new people. Hence risk.
Don't get me wrong; I think privacy is important for everyone. I encourage secure apps. To protect their personal lives.
(I exclude China). In most activism, it's the violation of ordinary privacy, not political privacy, that's fixable.
But ordinary privacy is actually crucial, especially to activists. Personal stuff gets them pressured in horrible ways.
If I could exchange e2e Snapchat with a world without Signal? For politics: in a heartbeat. (Not for whistleblowing).
@octal also embraced the theoretical appeal of snapchat's message erasure functionality.
tfw you voluntarily compromise VPN
which I guess is better than involuntarily doing so.
In Turkey, internet bans means many people use VPN. The use it for tweets; but get security. It's an interesting trade-off.
..for the government. They lose access to content; but make the medium seem transgressive, keep their base off it.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
