Infosec 101 for Activists

For someone in the know: what's the credibility of the authors on this topic?

I see https://infosecforactivists.org/#acknowledgments and https://github.com/InfosecForActivistsTeam/infosec-activists... but I don't see their experience following their own advice.

The document by itself looks unpolished. Tor, for example, should be at least referenced once, even if they recommend against it.

Can't speak for OP's link, but as a contrast No Trace Project's resources contain lots of advice from people who actually routinely face state repression, with in-depth analysis of specific cases. The scope is international (though focused on the North Atlantic region) rather than english- & u.s.-exclusive. There are plenty of references to Tor+Tails.

Thanks for the links. It's a bit annoying that OP's link turned out to be a LARP; I hope no one actually relies on those people for their security.
