Seriously folks:

1. learn fucking #ComSec, #InfoSec & #OpSec cuz

2. every service that demands #PII like a #PhoneNumber is inherently insecure &

3. a lot of places criminaloze #anonymous #SIM #cards & demand #KYC for any Phone Number.

4. It is your moral duty as #TechLiterates to foster and.normalize #OpenStandards that are in fact secure, like #XMPP+#OMEMO & #PGP/MIME.

5. there's no excuse to not use @torproject / #Tor when tools like @micahflee's #OnionShare and @tails_live / @tails / #Tails exist.

6. #SourceProtection is not negotiable!

These numbers aren’t just stats — they’re a clear signal that the need is growing and so is the impact we can make when we act together.

Don't get me wrong it's really fecking important to report what's going on in #Iran and cover #IranProtests, but as a #US-bound camera crew they stick out like a Pantomimé in Mogadishu...

  • Their chances would've been way better getting in contact with locals remotely and going out of their way to not request or collect any #PII whatsoever in order to not endanger anyone.

Similar to how one can't just interview people on the streets of #Pyongyang, everyone in #Tehran is rightfully afraid of repression...

Wikileaks' #Tor connections were designed to always use #Sweden and #Belgium as part of their circuit.

In a 2011 interview of #JulianAssange from #JohnPilger, Julian explains how specific '#SourceProtection' laws in those countries made them important when bouncing traffic around different countries.

Fascinating.

Protection of journalistic sources in Norwegian law

Both the Civil Procedure Act and the Criminal Procedure Act in Norway contain regulations which give journalists the right to not reveal their sources. According to the wording of these regulations, however, this right is not without exceptions.
Interesting post from Jon Wessel-Aas, Norwegian lawyer and expert on human rights, privacy, freedom of the press, freedom of speech and related subjects.
