Story

ENGLISH BELOW

Trabajo para Internet Society desde hace 7 años y creo fielmente en el trabajo que hacemos. He visto como el trabajo de cada uno de nuestros voluntarios y staff ha traído oportunidades y una mejor calidad de vida para todos por medio de la Internet. Conexión por conexión hemos hecho una diferencia. Sin embargo, a pesar de todos estos esfuerzos, el trabajo ahora se intensifica aún mas, porque, una conexión sin seguridad, sumada a la desconfianza, se convierte en una desconexión. ¿A cuántos usuarios les han robado sus claves, su información personal, bloqueado sus cuentas y hasta robado su dinero? ¿En cuántos países los gobiernos tratan de eliminar el cifrado extremo a extremo volviéndonos cada vez más vulnerables? 

Internet hoy más que nunca está siendo amenazada y sólo con la ayuda y la unión de todos podremos defenderla.  Hoy me uno al día mundial de cifrado (21 de octubre), nadando un total de 10k,  del 12 al 28 de octubre, con el fin de apoyar el cifrado extremo a extremo a nivel mundial. El dinero recaudado será utilizado en esfuerzos por defender el cifrado. El dinero va directamente a la cuenta de Internet Society.

Adicionalmente, he creado un equipo para que cualquier persona interesada en apoyar la causa se una  con sus propios retos personales (cada quien define su meta personal según sus preferencias de deporte y tiempo disponible). El reto termina el 28 de octubre. El enlace para unirse a mi equipo es este:  https://www.justgiving.com/team/cifradolatinoamerica?invite=true 

ENGLISH

I have been working for the Internet Society for 7 years and believe faithfully in the work we do. I have seen how the work of each of our volunteers and staff has brought opportunities and a better quality of life for everyone. Connection by connection we have made a difference. However, despite all these efforts, the work now intensifies even more, because an unsecured connection, coupled with distrust, becomes a disconnection. How many users have had their passwords, personal information , and even their money stolen? In how many countries are governments trying to eliminate end-to-end encryption making us more and more vulnerable?

The Internet today more than ever is being threatened and only with the help and union of all of us, we can defend it. Today I am joining Encryption Day (October 21) by swimming a total of 10k, from October 12-28, in order to support end-to-end encryption worldwide. The money raised will be used in efforts to defend encryption. The money goes directly to the Internet Society account.

Additionally, I have created a team for anyone interested in supporting the cause to join with their own personal challenges (everyone defines their personal goal according to their sport preferences and available time). The challenge ends on October 28th. The link to join my team is this: https://www.justgiving.com/team/cifradolatinoamerica?invite=true
