The speaker says that as a Russian citizen supporting Russian anti-war NGOs, independent media like Meduza, or Ukrainian refugees could bring serious problems from the Russian government, noting over 300 criminal cases and long prosecutions. Cloak is built on “privacy pools” to donate without linking donors publicly, and it includes a two-step donation flow where the send-to-pool confirmation takes about 10 to 15 minutes before the final transfer to the recipient’s wallet. The speaker also argues this need extends beyond Russia to countries with restrictions on donations, such as China, Azerbaijan, Egypt, Venezuela, and others.
