It's an open source whistleblower submission platform that uses the Tor network to protect source anonymity. We're also working on a next-generation integrated workstation for journalists based on Qubes OS:

THIS IS THE SMALLEST THING WE CAN DO to show them that they should support alternatives!
There's been a much more activity in the comments, and follows. YOU'RE AWESOME!
Promote it, boost the videos so others know it exists, and let them know on official channels (blender.today, blenderartists.org etc.) that it's a great idea.
