Scenarios

Tools are neither good nor bad in the abstract. Their value depends on whether they map to a specific situation, threat model, and set of people the writer cares about. The scenarios in this section are written for readers whose situations sit across, between, or in the shadow of Sinophone Asia-Pacific jurisdictions — diaspora, cross-border travelers, people with family in less open environments, and people moving across the region for work, study, or refuge.

Scenarios connect the conceptual frame and the regional observatory to specific lived practice.

In Tier 2 drafting

The following scenarios exist in detail in our Chinese editions and are queued for English re-framing in the next round:

  • Journalists and source protection — first contact, identity verification, file exchange, interview records, and post-publication cleanup; written for reporters working across the region or with sources inside less open jurisdictions
  • Activists' digital preparation — pre-mobilization, on-site, post-action, and cross-organization coordination
  • Anonymous donations to advocacy organizations — for both organizers and donors, with regional banking and crypto context

How to suggest a scenario

If you work with a population whose situation isn't well covered by existing English-language privacy sites, especially groups with significant cross-border or Sinophone-region context, let us know via the channels on the Community page. We are particularly interested in scenarios where the regional framing is load-bearing: the same situation in a different jurisdiction would call for materially different practice.
