Their started using +*portable* systems as a simple way of protecting themselves from all +kinds of digital threats. + +Before using Tails they also used another custom live system built by +some friends of them and also based on Debian. As of today, many people +in her organization are still using this custom system. They are pushing +them to migrate to Tails because the kind of community behind Tails +makes it look safer to them. + +Bea uses Tails for 2 main reasons: + +- For the sake of learning and being able to teach others. + + By using tools like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, or Tails herself, she + knows better how they work and she can analyze digital threats better. + People are often scared of many things but she feels the need to + analyze what are the real threats and the data they manipulate. + +- For personal use. + + She uses her computer for her work within the organization, to handle + the web and the social media of the organization as well as of another + NGO in North America that struggles against the mining industry. + + Even though her laptop is running Mint, is encrypted, and has Tor, + Bitmask, GPG, and everything, she knows that her activism, her + computer, and her online life is monitored, for example by companies + from the mining industry. + + So she sometimes turns to Tails to have an extra "window of privacy" + and do more personal stuff that she doesn't want to be linked to her + political life, like access a secure personal email account, or + use the Internet without leaving traces and risking to get spyware or + malware on her computer. + +Only a few people were using Tails in her organization until now because +the website was not translated into Spanish. This year, they started to +give workshops on Tails within the organization. As people from the +international relations group all speak several languages, "hacking" on +digital security tools was more accessible to them and they ended up +being the ones giving workshops and teaching others. + +Bea are her group are recommending Tails mostly to 2 kind of people: + +- People who don't have a computer and always use shared computers. + + Sometimes the people reporting human-rights violations in their + community work on a shared computer, that runs Windows and is the same + as the ones that the kids use to play online or watch movies, it's + full of viruses, a real catastrophe. + + They try to convince them to use Tails with a persistent memory to + manipulate the data on human-rights violations and keep it out of + their Windows. Even though these people might still use GMail... + + Using GMail from Tails is a bit more complicated but it's possible. + You only get more security checks. So it's important to have another + email account as a backup in case they block your account. + +- People who want to have more secure communications. + + They teach them Thunder, GPG, and how to replace their GMail with a + secure email. For example, when the human-rights reporter from a + community communicates with the regional and national reporters, to + avoid sending the reports and the names of the victims to GMail. + +But until now maybe around 10 people are really working like this +because people are not so aware of digital threats and how to mitigate +them. Apart from digital-rights defenders, it's most popular amongst +young people in bigger cities. Feminist groups are also working on +digital security. + +### What she likes + +- She's really excited about the upcoming support for *VeraCrypt*. + + Many people here are using *VeraCrypt* and it was a big limitation + when trying to convince them to use Tails. + + Human-rights defenders, lawyers, and journalists are using *VeraCrypt* + a lot to protect information that can be sensitive for them or for + their testimonies. + +- She really likes cloning. If you have a USB stick, I can make you a + Tails! + +- She likes the persistent memory and finds it easy to use. + +### What she dislikes + +- She misses *Bitmask*. + + *Bitmask* is sometimes faster than Tor and you don't get that many + "*Prove that you're not a robot*" that drive you crazy. + + With *Bitmask* I can decide to always appear as coming from North + America whereas with Tor I always appear as coming from a different + country. Some websites, like Google, don't like that. + +- She misses the ability to install additional software: + + - *Bitmask*. + + - Some people are used to their Windows applications and using it with + *Wine*. + + - Some specific audio and video applications. + +- In recent versions, she had troubles cloning when running in Spanish. + +- In recent versions, she had troubles using *Enigmail* with *Thunder* + and had to import her GPG keys manually every time. + +- She wanted to know how she could install Tails on a computer to hack + on it, modify it, and export it again. + Additional Software UX sprint, January 2018 -- 2.11.4.GIT
