Isn't that more insecure approach than distributing your communication? What if riseup gets hacked or taken down by government?

- troels 16y agoJust guessing, but maybe they simply help people set up distributed systems. Eg. act as an information hub, rather than a technological platform. Don't know if that's the case, but it would make sense if.
- phaer 16y agoThey don't. As you can see on there homepage the provide e-mail and web services to their users.
- gst 16y agoIf I were the government I would definitely operate a site such as riseup (and monitor the communication of the individuals using it). And even if it's not operated by the government, as the servers are based in the US, they are affected by things such as National Security Letters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Letter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Letter). As an activist I would use something such as TorChat (http://code.google.com/p/torchat/ http://code.google.com/p/torchat/), RetroShare (http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/ http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/), or Syndie (http://syndie.i2p2.de/ http://syndie.i2p2.de/) for communication instead.
- expertio 16y agoExactly, this is just what any government want. They know where you are, they know what you are doing.
