   Converting dangerous documents to safe P

   From: fritz@spamexpire-202408.rodent.frell.theremailer.net   
      
   Today, we added documentation on our website to install Dangerzone in   
   Tails.   
      
   When you receive untrusted documents, for example, email attachments,   
   Dangerzone allows you to convert them into safe PDFs before opening.   
      
   Dangerzone https://dangerzone.rocks/ is particularly useful for   
   journalists who might receive dangerous documents from anonymous   
   sources or download them from the Internet.   
      
   Dangerzone is an essential tool and is built by great people. It was   
   first written by Micah Lee to protect investigative journalists while   
   working at The Intercept. Dangerzone is now maintained by Freedom of   
   the Press Foundation, a non-profit that protects public-interest   
   journalism. Edward Snowden and Laura Poitras are on its Board of   
   Directors.   
      
   It's totally the kind of software that aligns with our mission. The   
   only reason why we are not including Dangerzone in Tails by default is   
   because Dangerzone is too big and not available in Debian.   
      
   So, we collaborated with Alex Pyrgiotis from Freedom of the Press   
   Foundation to make it as easy as possible to install Dangerzone in   
   Tails as Additional Software. The setup requires using the command   
   line, but, after that, Dangerzone will install automatically every time   
   you start Tails.   
      
   Dangerzone will allow more investigative journalists to use the safe   
   environment that Tails provides when manipulating sensitive documents.   
      
   It's also the first time that we recommend installing a 3rd party   
   package that is not available in Debian. We know that a lot of software   
   that would be useful for our users is not readily available in Debian.   
   If this first experiment is successful, we might document more such   
   packages.
