-== Choosing a mailing list ==
+== Methodology ==
 If you have decided that you need a secure communication channel for your collective and that you do not want to use corporate services, there are many alternative services to choose from that are recommended for human rights defenders. For example: Riseup, Aktivix or Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective), all those options are free but they still prioritise security and user privacy.

This is a strategy that can be best used when you are part of a close collective. It also requires trust that all members will care enough to manage it collectively.
