✨ Feature Suggestion | Guest-of-the-Month

[five-c-d]

Description: continuation of a discussion in #848

I think guest-blogging might be a hard sell to most

Well, if you are hoping that Bruce Schneier and Edward Snowden will drop everything

@jonaharagon -- here is a good person to ask: Fredrik Strömberg, co-founder of Mullvad, in the VPN provider listings since forever, contact info at top of the PDF that was just released, https://www.mullvad.net/media/system-transparency-rev4.pdf where they are talking about building a cryptographically-provable no-logging-VPN (with similar but not identical technology to how signal-server uses server-side SGX enclaves to give client-side signal4smartphone the ability to perform remote-attestation before uploading the addressbook hashnums -- assuming one enables addressbook integration of course, it is on-by-default but optional).

Because mullvad is making a publicity-push right now, specifically appealing to "reviewers" aka privacyToolsIO folks with their objective-listings-hats on their heads, they might be receptive to guest-blogger-of-the-month sort of arrangement? == https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2019/6/3/system-transparency-future/ (which I heard about here) You can toss a few stock questions every guest-blogger gets asked --

• what is most important to personal privacy in the coming ten years,
• what is most important to infosec in the coming ten years,
• what politician or political party do you trust the most,
• what is the best way to fight global mass surveillance during the next 12 months,
• and a basic what-is-your-background type of question maybe

-- then dive straight into their personal-opinion listing of tool-recommendations for everyday citizenry. They can annotate their listings with rationale, or discussion, or whatever, or if they are in a hurry just ram it out with "best tool for non-tech-savvy and best tool for more-advanced endusers" in each category they care to make a statement about.

p.s. Also, still strongly recommend asking Snowden and maybe Schneier. Worst they can do, is tell you to stop bothering them please :-) But they might say "okay"

We decided that this currently to big of a hassle with our current resources. It may be an idea for the future though, closing for now.
