Nice to have it here in my country and nice that this story was picked up, but worth to comment here that this is a brazilian branch originated by an australian initiative: https://privacyforjournalists.org.au/ https://privacyforjournalists.org.au/ from this organization: https://cryptoaustralia.org.au/ https://cryptoaustralia.org.au/ All of that is clearly referred at the story and at the brazilian website, so no call out here, just pointing the sources directly.

This is something we're going to have struggle with as a society for quite a while -- the pervading reach of technology makes enforcement of privacy rights and constraints on government ever more important. I wonder if it can go all the way to childhood. I've tinkered with the idea of doing a children's book on privacy -- I think you learn about VPNs along with your alphabets haha. In all seriousness, anything that helps people be educated about security in the digital age is a massive plus.

  I might bombard you with some questions if you're not swamped with work. You don't happen to have any plans to attend Defcon 25 this year in Las Vegas by chance?

    I'm actually at the newsroom right now, but feel free to contact me. I'll certainly reply asap. I'd be glad to. And, no, no plans of going to the US, unfortunately.

  I've never seen this happen to a comment before. (Thanks for reposting the links). Did it get downvoted to death or something? I'm not seeing any negative points on it though
