I've just donated to this fundraiser to support Voice of America workers and contributors, who are affected by funding cuts and legal battles. Many of the people affected are under actual danger of deportation to hostile foreign regimes, who will attack them because of their journalism work.

VOA / RFA / RFE is, for many places around the world, the only way for people to get real information about their own country. And, now more than ever, the work VOA did is becoming relevant in America as well. The anti journalism playbook used against VOA is also coming to American domestic media.

For techies: the donation here also supports staff from the Open Technology Fund, which sponsors many censorship circumvention technologies (such as Tor) and which also has a FOSS fund. They were also defunded along with VOA.

The fundraiser is just over halfway. Let's get them to their goal.

(And please help me out, Americans; I only have worthless Canadian dollars to donate. cries in CAD exchange rate)

🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”

Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.

If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?

(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)
