The Closed Hand

The Closed Hand believes the Open Circuit learned only half the lesson of Technobeast history. Information can free people, but it can also enable surveillance, manipulation, weaponization, and control.

Closed Hand cells specialize in encryption, privacy, compartmentalization, secure identities, restricted archives, and limiting dangerous technologies. Outsiders call them secretive or paranoid. They answer that a civilization born from someone else's control of their minds has earned the right to be paranoid about access.
