The real answer is don’t tell activists TOR will protect them from spyware. TOR does something different and misleading dissidents about what tool protects what from what can endanger them.

It's interesting how you missed the bit about safer anonymous operating systems of which Tor is, in fact, only one ingredient, but an essential one. Email services that don't have an onion have obvious drawbacks ;-)

I’m actually all for such operating systems but haven’t ever managed to get past the usability issue for ordinary, not tech, activists. Not for lack of trying. If anyone manages, yeay, and would love to hear how.
