🛡️ Online #privacy and #anonymity advice for #activists! 🚨 Please RT! 🚨

If you are in the front lines right now, cover your face and prep your phone with extra tools to protect yourself and your friends!

⬇️ For basic starter tools, check out this thread for tips! ⬇️ [1/6]
1. Leave no trace with a #VPN

A VPN hides what you do and what websites you visit from whoever gives the Internet. This could be a Wi-Fi network or your phone carrier.

Not sure where to start? @ProtonVPN has a free tier for activists. [2/6]
2. Protect your messages and your friends' identities with @signalapp.

Signal is a secure messaging app. Like WhatsApp but stores less info about you and your messages.

Best part is disappearing messages. Make messages disappear after 10 mins, 1 hour, 1 day of being read! [3/6]
3. Protect your photos and videos with @Dropbox.

Make a new Dropbox account and install on your phone. Enable Camera Upload. All photos and videos automatically uploaded to cloud even when deleted from device. Just allow it over data first! [4/6]
Bonus: You can also lock the Dropbox app with its own PIN or your fingerprint. This stops someone from easily going in and deleting everything if they get access to your unlocked phone. [5/6]
That's the most important things I can think of for now. Happy to answer questions, preferably in this thread to share knowledge with others, but DMs are okay too! [6/6]
