Anonymous Blogging Guide
The BlogSafer wiki contains a series of guides on how to blog under difficult conditions in countries that discourage free speech.
The five guides that are currently on the wiki serve bloggers in the following countries:
• Iran (in Persian)
• China (Chinese)
• Saudi Arabia (in Arabic—also useful for other Arabic-speaking nations such as Bahrain, Egypt, Syria and Tunisia)
• Malaysia (in English—also applicable to neighboring Indonesia and Singapore)
• Zimbabwe (in English—applicable to English-speaking Africans as well as aid workers)
These countries were chosen because they are representative of the kinds of repressive tactics that have been used in the past several years against bloggers. These include filtering, interrogation, torture and imprisonment.
The guides are a synthesis of all currently available information on the subject of anonymisation. They have been edited for non-technical readers, translated into the languages of the target areas and posted on the wiki. Bloggers can use the wiki format to expand, edit and change the current guides to reflect a closer knowledge of the changing situation in their countries. Others may use the guides, and the other resources provided, to translate the guides into other languages or create new guides specific to their countries' situations.
