Project Proposal – g0v Hackath71n (g0v, the 71st Hackathon)

g0v hackath71n / g0v the 71st Hackathon

This time, we’re heading south to Kaohsiung (a.k.a. Takao) to participate in the “g0v Hackath71n – g0v the 71st Hackathon.” If you happen to be in southern Taiwan during this period, or if you’d like to travel south to Kaohsiung together—combining a short trip with a few days of remote work while joining the event—feel free to come find us at the hackathon. We’ve registered a booth to help move forward the progress of the “Anonymous Online Community” 2026 project!

At the moment, it looks like there are still a few spots available. If you’re interested in our project and would like to contribute, you’re very welcome to join us on the day of the event—no matter your background or area of expertise.

After presenting InterSecLab's report on data leakage related to the Great Firewall of China at the "Taipei Coffee and Circumvention Meetup 2025/10," there were many discussions during the latter part of the event. The questions centered around what actions we can ultimately take in the face of state-level surveillance methods and capabilities.

The previously provided cybersecurity recommendations also need to be revisited and revised. Below, we will review some of the topics discussed that day through text. We also recommend taking some time to read this report, as it will provide a clearer outline of the risks and challenges we are facing.
