Where is Chelsea Manning right now?
Trans whistleblower Chelsea Manning is rumored to have sketched out a new way to protect online privacy from her prison cell nearly five years ago. She is now assisting an MIT-affiliated cryptographer firm in releasing the next generation of privacy software.
While serving the longest sentence ever given to a whistleblower for anonymously leaking over 500, 0000 government documents using the privacy-protecting Tor Network, she used her time in prison to devise a better way to hide the tracks and footprints of other online users.
What does Chelsea Manning do?
Knowing that the nonprofit Tor Project she used to send files to Wikileaks had become extremely vulnerable to the watchful eyes of intelligence agencies and law enforcement; she devised a new method of hiding internet traffic by using blockchain, the technology behind bitcoin, to build a similar network without the hassle of government funding.
