Because the confidentiality of your encrypted email relies also on others’ settings, for maximum safety until this flaw is patched, please use encrypted instant messengers like, Keybase, Wire or Signal for the most sensitive communications.
We recommend people use End-to-End Encrypted communications whenever possible […]
Activists who do not encrypt their communications put themselves and others at risk of surveillance. Encryption is more important than ever, but also much easier to use than it once was. We will give an overview of state-of-the-art secure communications tools, discuss trade-offs and considerations in choosing the right tools […]
Vulnerabilities and exploits to Internet-enabled devices are constantly being discovered (and stockpiled). This is one reason why you’ll hear us say “there is no such thing as perfect digital security” and “don’t bet your life and liberty on this [digital security] tool”. That said, there is a lot you […]

Doxing is the practice of collecting personal info (public or private) and publishing it online. It has been used as a means of intimidation and harassment and CLDC has been asked more than once "what if it happens to me?"
So our goal isn’t perfect digital security. That’s impossible what the woods are for!
But what is our goal? I say, let’s make it hard for nazis, cops, and mercenaries to get all internal movement comms and adorable puppy photos. Make it so they need Seth Green from Enemy of […]
