Panneau stop devant une centrale nucléaire

Robin est un militant qui lutte contre un projet nucléaire en France. Il utilise depuis cinq ans Tails comme système d'exploitation par défaut pour toutes ses activités militantes, en créant une séparation nette entre son militantisme (en utilisant Tails) et sa vie personnelle (en utilisant une Debian chiffrée).

At his place, many nomadic activists use Tails USB sticks instead of having personal computers, allowing them to maintain privacy while using shared devices.

After facing repression, encrypting all their data became a baseline practice in his group. He prefers training others on Tails because it's easier to implement than teaching full computer encryption.

Because Tails is easy to share, even people with low technical abilities are able to use it. For the security of a group, what matters is the lowest security level within that group.
