If the internet just works for you, that's not most of the world.

Dozens of countries block news sites, ban messengers, inspect traffic. The list of places it's getting worse is longer than the list where it's getting better.

We build for the other side.

From Gourmet Tools to Self-Serve Building Blocks: Scaling Resilience with Shared Language and Reuse

In my SplinterCon keynote tomorrow: think in self-serve capabilities – Resolve, Shape, Carry, Relay, Choose – not monolithic "gourmet" tools.

Users ask which tool works. Providers need to ask what is being targeted, how, and which capability is missing.

We are officially passed 1512 hours of internet blackout in #Iran. Just to put in perspective: when people were watching Artimis launch, Iran was in blackout. When Artimis got back, Iran was in blackout. When people were celebrating easter, Iran was in blackout. When people were careful about April's fools day online, Iran was in blackout. When people celebrated Labour Day, Iran was in blackout.

63 days and counting...

perhaps now, with RightsCon conference being cancelled due to standard CCP tricks of delegitimising Taiwanese sovereignty, those who call for ally/partner with PRC due to "new world order" (whether they're politicians, activists, human rights advocates) will begin to realise that cozying up to totalitarian states is a short-sighted approach, to put it mildly...
