FYI, pare riseup sia (di nuovo) nei guai

ho solo letto mail che pare verosimile da persona conosciuta (qui in
forward) ma non ho verificato ancora sui contatti (che dormon tutti
negli USA al momento)

qualcuno ha piu' info?

p.s. occhio la mail contiene link a facebook che sconsiglio di
clickare se non da account anonimi

Heads up that Riseup.net
<http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2FRiseup.net%2F&h=XAQGoRUIbAQHunnUSJa3r3XR2Plgef7W-6kIshPxzwm_kMg&enc=AZMzO_xBnhMy11FFvVphYeRrovnzfn8rhNc9e6Hq_NCnnM-D0UEiMJvvU1K2-uiV5pHO0UX920KAkxelBZELpFmXIkz3AXkaWCLTCjrqG1PraPayUiSxiTwSZ5Swh0O81N3IkEQ0v5XGIYya--Sv4ap999AbBE70EtNMGirHIYdvW_1DEwEAAtdnl7yVjSWGzqo&s=1> has
almost certainly been issued a gag order.

Riseup regularly updates a canary located
here: https://riseup.net/en/canarycertifying that they haven't received
a gag order, court orders or the like. It has gone dead. In addition
just before it expired Riseup posted a tweet with Cohen lyrics "listen
to the hummingbird, whose wings you cannot see, listen to the
hummingbird, don't listen to me" and a tweet saying "we have no plans on
pulling the plug" with a screencap of the segment of their FAQ that says
they'd rather pull the plug on services than comply with surveillance.
Of course it also says you should back up email in preparation for such
a shutdown.

My read is that they're "complying" with the gag order while fighting
the surveillance demanded in court. Riseup is made up of long-time
anarchist activists who would feel obliged to go to prison rather than
collaborate in snitching out others. However there is a small chance
someone could crack from threats of decades in prison. Additionally
there's a much more substantive chance that regardless of their optimism
Riseup may soon be forced to close everything down.

Here's what you can do:

1) Backup all your emails on your riseup account locally. This may
require you to connect thunderbird to your email account rather than
just using the webmail. http://kb.mozillazine.org/IMAP_backup
<http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fkb.mozillazine.org%2FIMAP_backup&h=9AQFQueL9AQE5n7YmDcF8MdjbyECZx0PUM8RpjQ7Mk7DIiQ&enc=AZPgrKDYlJRZ4WLYkQ4bQpNp68MnrtoWOQAWKK-MbtSmF7NYrAlCa0sWAHvBnGwj5bXDkkxHlghOKQ2DRhTX3xWaZpaK8bgDyQtEq1mqn_F3TCCSSAvwg4B0qycPKG7X0nMtyWsOjzScQsgh4XG7VF_sTUqrpiHm4BmDOF-ZaeVh144LCZipDKJTtz5FQ63EPio&s=1> (please
have full disk encryption or separately encrypt your email back up,
explanation in comments if need be)

2) Get another email address that you can use as a fallback. Resist.ca
is based out of Canada (which doesn't do you much good but at least
some). Protonmail is based in Switzerland, although be a bit suspicious
about the "encryption" claims they make, there are problems.

3) You can set up email forwarding with Riseup
here:https://riseup.net/en/email/settings/aliases
<https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Friseup.net%2Fen%2Femail%2Fsettings%2Faliases&h=8AQH9C-gTAQHTeiOlmqJycueiYP9NySNZOG_nRdyE47AXJg&enc=AZMNWB4pK7l7Mum6nGldg0D6e8MzhXNvLYThXPh9NGUCsdPsCskPVAhM6BMyEBw9CNBkdIdvtj1SD1shMUuiZE61PGKas2zRVmwo2zeq87bwzmp4YJpmaNJEnFGRsFb8_s--G41aFzJ23RYisJ7lDMPadZNQBVsDUedK-fiJZ5yoKwPjuGlsCyJOH6GIhfUAYqs&s=1> Either
to pipe emails to your riseup account to your new account or pipe emails
to your new account to riseup (if say you want to start popularizing a
new email address but continue primarily answering through riseup for
the time being).

4) Remember that while some providers may encrypt emails once received
on their server, all email is basically sent unencrypted between
servers. Every email is a postcard, readable by nearly everyone. Unless
you and the person you're corresponding with use PGP. So use PGP. Links
