Description: continuation of a discussion in #848

I think guest-blogging might be a hard sell to most

Well, if you are hoping that Bruce Schneier and Edward Snowden will drop everything

@JonahAragon -- here is a good person to ask: Fredrik Strömberg, co-founder of Mullvad, in the VPN provider listings since forever, contact info at top of the PDF that was just released, https://www.mullvad.net/media/system-transparency-rev4.pdf where they are talking about building a cryptographically-provable no-logging-VPN (with similar but not identical technology to how signal-server uses server-side SGX enclaves to give client-side signal4smartphone the ability to perform remote-attestation before uploading the addressbook hashnums -- assuming one enables addressbook integration of course, it is on-by-default but optional).

Because mullvad is making a publicity-push right now, specifically appealing to "reviewers" aka privacyToolsIO folks with their objective-listings-hats on their heads, they might be receptive to guest-blogger-of-the-month sort of arrangement? == https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2019/6/3/system-transparency-future/ (which I heard about here) You can toss a few stock questions every guest-blogger gets asked --

what is most important to personal privacy in the coming ten years,
what is most important to infosec in the coming ten years,
what politician or political party do you trust the most,
what is the best way to fight global mass surveillance during the next 12 months,
and a basic what-is-your-background type of question maybe

-- then dive straight into their personal-opinion listing of tool-recommendations for everyday citizenry. They can annotate their listings with rationale, or discussion, or whatever, or if they are in a hurry just ram it out with "best tool for non-tech-savvy and best tool for more-advanced endusers" in each category they care to make a statement about.

p.s. Also, still strongly recommend asking Snowden and maybe Schneier. Worst they can do, is tell you to stop bothering them please :-) But they might say "okay"
