I can confidently diagnose as sociopaths.

Promised therapy customers privacy...then gave their mental health info to advertisers.

Victims get less than ten bucks each.

Company made billion+ in revenue last year alone.

In a just society with good privacy laws, they'd face existential civil & criminal consequences.

We're working on something with our friends at .

You might know of hackathons as events where teams can build new and inventive features outside of their official roadmap.

This hackathon is different. We're hosting an event for , researchers, and bug hunters to test the security of Hush Line, our new free and open-source whistleblowing platform.

How to read articles/news as a in a and way on .

Sometimes I'm busy and can't read at that moment, so I save the article/news as plain text in a PDF file to read it later. It works most of the time, but it's not perfect.

You'll need: torsocks (optional), lynx and LibreOffice installed.

Save it as a file like "pdf.sh", make it executable with "chmod +x pdf.sh" and then use it like this:

./pdf.sh https://website.com/article

Confiscating migrants' mobile phones deprives people of access to the Internet and support networks.

It isolates people being held by the UK State and restricts their ability to exercise legal rights in the .

This follows a previous Home Office policy to seize mobile phones and extract data onto the Project Sunshine database.

Despite the practice being ruled illegal, the government is at it again.

Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain

「 The core of the controversy stems from Proton Mail providing the Spanish police with the recovery email address associated with the Proton Mail account of an individual using the pseudonym ‘Xuxo Rondinaire.’ This individual is suspected of being a member of the Mossos d’Esquadra (Catalonia’s police force) and of using their internal knowledge to assist the Democratic Tsunami movement 」

Age assurance is in the news again today. Sadly this isn’t a magic solution and will instead expose users to increased cybersecurity and privacy risks and drive under 18s towards less controlled spaces to obtain and share restricted files.

is a goal, not a promise. As far back as I can remember, forums like those supporting and were staffed with volunteers from the privacy community who repeatedly insisted on answering questions, like, "Is <this> (whatever this might be) totally secure?" with stock questions like, "What is it that you consider 'totally secure?" or answers such as, "Secure is a relative term, nothing is completely secure, how secure do you need your mission's communications to be?"

Phrases such as, reasonably secure should be indicators of how ridiculous it is to assume that any secure platform is EVER completely, and totally secure.

That begs the question, "Exactly how secure do you require your communications to be?" The answer is always, ... relative.

Which means that you should always believe Ellen Ripley when she says, "Be afraid. Be very afraid!"

If you're using GNU/Linux. Please use opensnitch, it's criminally underrated. It notifies you of network requests made in real time, and you can choose to allow them or not (it comes with a lot of filtering options as well): https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch

Sto preparando un corso extra per la mia seconda sperimentale (hanno corsi opzionali a fine anno), il tema è "diritto del web" inteso in modo generico (legalità, privacy, ecc...), ho 4 incontri di 2,5 ore, pensavo di strutturarlo a "cineforum", avete qualche consiglio su docu/film sul tema?

Finora ho individuato alcuni che ho già usato:

CitizenFour
Deep Web
The Internet's Own Boy
The Great Hack

qualcosa di valido su ad esempio?
