<div dir="ltr"><div style>Hi Robin,</div><div style><br></div>As an activist myself, I have a website (<a href="https://alkasir.com">https://alkasir.com</a>), through which I try to provide netizens and particularly activists in countries with Internet censorship, with a tool to circumvent censorship. I also use it to study and map website (domain, URL, and IP filtering) in countries around the world. It would be ideal if my domain's information is kept private so I could travel with ease and not get harassed or threatened in some countries.<div>

Thanks Horacio. I'm trying to reach out to some of the bloggers/activists I met during the #Jan25 uprising in Egypt who were blogging prior, during and after the uprising for exactly this scenario. I think their experiences might be very beneficial.<br>
<br>
If you, or anyone else, can come up with real-life stories/examples, that would be great.<br>
<br>
Of course…, other scenarios would also be most welcome. The more we can offer Stephanie in terms of scenarios or use-cases, the easier we'll make her work with the EWG.<br>
<br>
Thanks again.<br>
