For anyone in Montreal, Jacob Appelbaum is giving a hands-on workshop this wednesday at QPIRG, under the organization of the Anarchist Tech Support collective.
Here is our callout:
Defending online privacy, anonymity, and freedom: a workshop with Jacob Appelbaum
Wednesday July 6, 2022
7:00pm
QPIRG-Concordia
1500 de Maisonneuve West, suite 204
This workshop will cover issues of internet monitoring, filtering, and
censorship, as well as practical tools such as Tor, encrypted
communications, and secure operating systems, which can be used to
counter these threats to our privacy and security. This will be a hands
on workshop, so bring a laptop or other device if you want.
Jacob Appelbaum, also known as ioerror, is a core member of the Tor
project, creating free software and a global network for the protection
of online anonymity. As an advocate for the project, he explains to
people around the world the importance of online anonymity for defending
our real life freedoms. He focuses on how Tor and other tools can help
social justice activists who are targeted by state repression. After
speaking for Wikileaks in 2010, he has himself become a frequent target
of American law enforcement and border security agencies.
This event is organized by Anarchist Tech Support, a working group of
