Digital Safety in High-Risk Environments
Digital safety means understanding the risks of your online activity and making informed decisions about how you access and share information.
Understanding Your Risk Profile
Risk varies by location, activity, and personal circumstances. A journalist's risk profile differs from a casual reader's. Understanding your specific context is the first step toward safer digital practices.
Basic Safety Practices
Keep software updated. Use strong, unique passwords. Be skeptical of unsolicited links. Understand that no single tool provides complete protection. Learn about your local legal environment.
During Internet Shutdowns
When networks go down, alternative information channels become critical. Offline tools like FreeWave complement online access methods. Families should discuss communication plans before crises occur.
