Re: [tor-dev] Human factors of security software

While I'm not quite sure it's what you're looking for, cross-cultural factors come into play a lot and seriously affect trust. I work with an organization that (in turn) works with Chinese activists & organizers. It's a bit of a catch-22 that tools and guides in Chinese dialects are critically important, but tools made in China aren't necessarily trusted. (Though this is probably owing to the extreme levels of infiltration in activist communities there). But tools that aren't trusted might be used more often than non-translated alternatives.

...It's problematic.
