general tips

You can keep some things in mind when submitting

  • This is a counter info for the area colonially known as british columbia. We may choose to share submissions from elsewhere, but you probably have a local counter info that would be a better choice than us.
  • Include a picture if possible. If you don’t we may add a generic one.
  • We may copy edit your submission.
  • Consider using https://cryptpad.fr/ and sending us a link.

security tips

We work to keep material secure on our end. However, our security won’t help you unless you take steps to protect your own security.

  • Don’t treat us like your friend. We don’t know eachother at all and you shouldn’t trust us.
  • Take some time to consider what you stand to gain from submitting to us and what you could lose. Make sure you are excited or prepared for the potential consequences.
  • Use TOR (https://www.torproject.org/download/) for your entire submission process.
  • Create a burner email account just for this. https://proton.me/ could be a good option. When creating a burner email, if you are required to set a recovery email, use a throwaway.
  • Use a tool like EXIF Purge to remove metadata from any images you submit (https://www.exifpurge.com/)
  • Use Cryptpad. Do not use something like google docs.
  • You can encrypt your emails to us using our PGP key
