Bravo, Kate & Yosem.

 

I live in Singapore. Anyone here want to meet up?

 

In a few weeks I’ll probably bop up to Ulaan-Baator to cybersecurity-help some folks there. Anyone know anyone in MN?

 

En route I might try to stop off in Shanghai (where I used to life). Anyone there?

 

Best,

Eric

Hi,

 

We’re writing about the future of the Liberation Tech list.

At its best, it’s been a forum where very smart people of many kinds have discussed digital rights, hacktivism, online privacy tools, the future of FISA, how to circumvent national internet shutdowns, and a myriad of other topics. 

 

Current subscribers include policy wonks, artists, CTOs, cypherpunks, reporters, government officials, bloggers from the Middle East, China experts, and at least one former rock star. 

 

In recent years, participation has dwindled.
  

We want to bring it back. 

 

As before, we think the list should be grounded in democracy, freedom, and human rights. Anarchists and Pirates (the party kind) are welcome, too. Nihilists, trolls, chronic naysayers, and people who write nastygrams on lists are emphatically not. And as before, our goal is to create a space for thoughtful conversation for people from across the tech ecosystem.

 

This time around, we also want the list to be fertile ground for collective action. We’ve fixed some technical glitches, we've kicked off some trolls, and we're going for a kinder atmosphere, where an inexperienced person could bring a promising idea for feedback, support, and constructive criticism. Unlike some social media platforms, you can explain your controversial idea completely and get thoughtful feedback. Unlike some other places, we've got a wildly diverse group here, many with a decent sense of humor, who are, in general, actually doing the work they discuss.

 

Consider re-engaging with this list--post, comment. What are you working on? What are you obsessed with? What is keeping you awake at night? 


We’re also recruiting new subscribers who are creative, smart, technical (or non-technical) and affable, so please spread the word. 

 

We're re-launching the list starting now.
