[MICROGRANT] Evido(Journalist's Diaries)

Adithya-adi-Menon commented 3 years ago

1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

One of the biggest risks faced by journalists is that their content can be manipulated and controlled by those in high power. Even if they try to publish pieces of evidence through various centralized sources, they are tracked down and suppressed. The truth never sees the light.

We provide a decentralized platform for journalism providing anonymity to journalists who wish to relinquish the true evidences and facts through our 'Evido'.

Hi @Adithya-adi-Menon, before we can consider this microgrant application, section 6 needs to be completed. Can you update your original issue comment and ping here when done?

As you build Evido you might be interested to read about SecureDrop, a web2 whistleblower document submission platform.
