AGENDA
TOPIC 1 - Encryption Campaign - Sara
- we launched an encryption campaign - lots of press due to apple
- Call for action - share the video
- we will have teaching kits at the second half of your campaign
- we are starting the videos on English and on the second half of the campaign
- we will have localizing efforts
-
Encryption campaign, efforts from regulators and governments to weaken encryption.
- We need a campaign to teach people about the value of encryption
- Elevator pitches: 30 seconds, 1 minute, worth practicing
QUESTIONS:
- does the campaign needs designing efforts, cause we have a team
- yes, please e-mail Sara so you can get the support you need
- Reach out to l10n web group → https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-l10n-web – will do.
- When the second phase is happening?
- we are realising the next 2 videos in the next 3 weeks.
- Second phase is starting in 2 weeks by no
- How can Mozillians explain that we are aligning with Apple and others right now when we are also their “competitors”?
- This is a great question - will work with policy to get some talking points.
- On this issue Mozilla and Apple (and Google?) are on the same side. There is a value on having trustworthy devices, backdoors make it possible for both hackers and foreign governments to get to the data.
- It’s not just people’s phones, in this connected world, people’s devices represent their lives, their bank account etc.explaining what encryption is a starting point.
- Sara will ask for FAQ for everyone to use
- Is this an opportunity to make us more visible as an org who is ALWAYS fighting for this rights?
- yes and it’s way to let people what encryption is and a way to reach people that are outside the community
- Thoughs/ideas by Jobava: Need to teach both about encryption but also the value of privacy. You can teach public key encryption using simple padlocks (everyone can lock, only the key unlocks) - can be workshop-worthy with actual padlock props and little boxes. Encryption has to be a hands-on experience, not just a faint assurance that their devices are somehow “secure”, without an idea what that might mean. Encryption has a really bad rendering in popular media (notably, CSI), even basic information may be worth spreading. Idea for a 60 second video debunking the CSI perception that encryption is something easy to break or trivial.
