If your off to study journalism you might fit this that I just published today handy. It's important to remember that surveillance in both the media and activism scene in the UK has also meant significant physical surveillance. Meaning both surveillance of movement and also infiltration. We are writing a series of things about this (secure meetings with sources, covering protests, dealing with arrests etc) based on the content in Umbrella App.

"How journalists and activists can identify and counter physical surveillance"

Strange the Umbrella App link gives me a 403 https://secfirst.org/fdroid/repo/ Can't find it within the FD app.

Yeah your the third person today to say that to us. We checked it was working outside with direct download link at https://secfirst.org/fdroid/repo/umbrella.apk. As far as we can tell there is an issue with F-Droid build but our devs are looking at it at the moment to see can we solve from our side.

Actually, as a temporary fix its working if you go to F-Droid and then add our repo
