EPRCI

At EPRCI, we believe in protecting your privacy and security—that you have a right to possess and share any information you wish, safely and securely, and without fear of government oppression, suppression, censorship, or surveillance. Information dissemination is the quintesential victimless “crime.” To that end, we’ve compiled a list of useful links to informational guides and software projects that will aid you in sharing freely.

Also see our complementary list of resources on eliminating the government’s “privacy.”
