Getting ready for the internet's backstreets

By FD for APCNews

MONTREAL, Canada, 19 April 2012

“Oh no, not another online survey!” You’re not sure about how safe let alone how serious online surveys are? Well this one’s for you: A survey those campaigning online for human rights. While the internet is a powerful campaigning space, it’s got its obscure backstreets too. What are the specific threats and concerns to women human rights defenders in that space? The 5-minute survey tries to get a feel of your digital security readiness with a tour of 17 questions. Take the tour and learn about your privacy options in just 5 minutes. A collaboration between three internet-related human rights groups – the Association for progressive communications, Front Line Defenders and the Tactical Tech Collective – the survey is accessible here http://tinyurl.com/77qlyyr and its results will be published by end of May 2012. Needless to say, the results will be anonymous. Click here: http://tinyurl.com/77qlyyr
