Hey everyone,
@casey and @rania40 had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• Saja (@saja )
• Sharif (@sharifgaza )Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).
Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
Gaza Verified
We’ve personally had video conversations on Signal with the people from Gaza whose Mastodon accounts on the fediverse are listed here and we verify that their accounts are genuine. – Joy & Aral Balkan
(gaza-verified.org)
Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

I get the importance of establishing a community for the sake of community safety and early warnings, but publishing a list of people that you have successfully confirmed to be from or otherwise have heritage in Gaza is an incredibly bad operation security practice.
Please consider keeping sensitive information such as this behind a portal. 0auth can be used to allow verified users to authenticate through their fediverse account for access.
As things currently stand, the resource you've created with good intentions is currently fair game for Mossad to use in profiling.

This is a means for people who are using the fediverse as one of their last lifelines to get support from the outside world without being dismissed as fake/scammers.

If that is indeed the case then I can't fault people for making the best out of a bad situation. I still maintain however that it is best to air on the side of caution with such things.
The less a government has to prosecute you with then the better.

#gaza #palestine #gazaverified #mastodon #fediverse #newmembers #verification, #cybersecurity, #opsec, #privacy.Israel doesn't need any incriminating data to arbitrarily detain a Palestinian. Of about 9,000 people being detained by Israel 3,300 are held without charges in something termed administrative detention. Being a Palestinian means you have very little or no rights in the occupied land of #Palestine. It's not a democracy, but a dystopia where feral rape gangs in IDF uniforms roam prisons picking out their prey with legal impunity. #Palestine

All the more reason to exercise best practices for operation security when applicable.
