At the same time, digital surveillance and censorship threaten the flow of information, particularly with the use of violence, human rights abuse or corruption. by repressive surveillance, whether physical or digital. Tella aims to provide a highly usable solution, accessible to everyone with minimal or no training, to collect, protect and communicate confidential information in highly repressive environments. Tella has three main goals: To protect users who are victims of physical and digital repression; Protect the data they collect from censorship, tampering, interception and destruction; Empower individuals and groups to easily, quickly and effectively collect data and produce high-quality documentation that can be used for research, advocacy or transitional justice. Tella is used by: activists, organizers and human rights advocates to securely document events in their communities, produce credible and verifiable evidence and store encrypted data on their mobile devices.
