BlogSafer: How to Blog in a Repressive Country

Spirit of America has launched the BlogSafer wiki. BlogSafer contains a series of guides on how to blog under difficult conditions in countries that discourage free speech.

The guides are a synthesis of all currently available information on the subject of anonymization. They have been edited for non-technical readers, translated into the languages of the target areas and posted on the wiki. Bloggers can use the wiki format to expand, edit and change the current guides to reflect a closer knowledge of the changing situation in their countries. Others may use the guides, and the other resources provided, to translate the guides into other languages or create new guides specific to their countries’ situations.

This is exactly the sort of thing we need. Check out the top link for a good overview, or check out the wiki itself.

    Will the BlogSafer guide explain how to deal with death-threats from Judaeo-fascists?

    No - it will just explain how to blog anonymously so no one can find the blogger to deliver death threats.
    Fortunately it will help protect everyone… not just those of your friend’s ideology.
