[liberationtech] Operational Impact of NSA Surveillance on Human Rights Work

[Ben Doernberg]

Hey all,

One topic that hasn't gotten enough public attention is the practical
impact of surveillance programs on human rights work. This is a subject
WITNESS is going to explore in a blog post next week, and I'm curious if
any of you are anticipating challenges in communicating and exchanging
information with each other and/or activists on the ground because of
concerns about surveillance by the NSA and its partners.

Does anyone know if there's been an effort to document the operational
impact these programs have on human rights groups/activists, or if there's
been a letter to policymakers on this issue?

Thanks,

Ben
