Shout-out to the cops my friend overheard pondering the identity of the prolific #acab vandal.

I just saw some videos on bird site of fires in Paris. Having lived in the city for several years with a flat and a workplace in close proximity to much of the action:
1. It looks worse than it is.
2. The cops by far are the most dangerous element involved.
3. Parisians typically react with mild annoyance to the associated transit delays. Nobody cares about that burning car over there.
4. The worst damage I ever saw was a result of the world cup celebration, not a protest.

Step 1. Make sure you don't have any old Trello boards set to public.
Step 2. Try out https://CryptPad.fr/kanban/
It doesn't yet match Trello's feature set, but its end-to-end-encryption makes it unlikely to end up on the front page of Google.
We've planned a big round of improvements over the next few months, including markdown support, comments on cards, tags. and a sleeker interface.
Designing for privacy is as much about preventing accidents as stopping bad actors.
Google indexes Trello boards and uncovers passwords, API keys, bank account information, and more.

The GDPR is broadly considered the global standard, but even it is really soft when it comes to the definition of legitimate use-cases for data processing. So-called legitimate use cases can entirely bypass consent.
The problem is that these legit cases are evaluated and argued by people that don't understand better alternatives than the status quo.
We could do a lot better.
