GUERRILLA TECHNIQUES FOR ONLINE ACTIVISM
IFEX often reports on journalists who have been violently attacked or killed
while on the job, or who have been slapped with defamation suits - two of
the greatest threats to free expression. So how do you, as a reporter,
escape unscathed and write without fear or favour?
The Southeast Asian Centre for e-Media, a partner of the Netherlands-based
foundation Free Voice, has come up with "Guerrilla Techniques for Online
Activism" for online journalists and bloggers to freely "pursue their
advocacy goals."
Using examples from Malaysia during its election year, the centre outlines
some "common guerrilla techniques," such as using multiple anonymous
identities, or teaming up with a ghost writer in another (safer) country who
will publish articles as if s/he is the one writing them. The guide also
offers tips on how you can protect yourself from government detection,
including by getting circumvention software from Sesawe.net.
