[liberationtech] Introductions / Look forward to participate on this great list

[Robert Guerra]

Dear colleagues,

I have just joined this mailing list. I wanted to post a short bio so you all know a bit more about me


I direct the Internet Freedom project at Freedom House. The project aims to analyze the state of internet freedom, to expand the use of anti-censorship technologies, to build support networks for citizens fighting against online repression and to focus greater international attention on the growing threats to users’ rights. 

Back in 2000 I was one of the founding directors of Privaterra – a Canadian-based initiative that still works with nongovernmental organizations to assist them with issues of data privacy, secure communications, information security, internet governance and freedom of expression online. I am often invited to speak at events to share the challenges being faced by social justice organizations in regards to surveillance, censorship and privacy. I advise numerous non-profits, foundations, governments and international organizations.


I look forward to following the list and playing an active role after i've caught up a bit on the discussions.

regards
