It's sadly ironic how many privacy-related articles are shared with tracking parameters added to the address. 😞

So here's a PSA to protect your friends & followers: When you share *any* links, please check for (& remove) text in the address that starts with ?utm_

Thank you. 🙂

Do you work at an organization that values their sales potential over a user’s right to #privacy? If so, please share any methods you have implemented to “get people on your side” and on the side of ethical ways of operating a business that values information security...

A robot sent to track each baby born…

The latest dystopian nightmare?

@micahflee hey @micahflee we are having a discussion whether privacytools.io should provide a securedrop or not. As we currently rent our servers, we are unsure if it would be the right choice to adopt it, would you be willing to give us some input here ? :)

🚗 I'm involved in organising a hackweek in April for https://trustroots.org - kind of an open source and free alternative to couchsurfing etc, that came out of the hitchwiki project (so lots of hitchhikers on it...).

👭 it kind of represents a bit of a reboot of the project, to get more active team again. and we're keen to make it more community-driven...

❓ feel free to ask me questions!

💻 you can register your interest here --> https://trustroots-hackathon.survey.fm/trustroots-hackweek-spring-2020

👍 pls boost!

So what are we currently working on you ask? Well we have a few things you can look out for to roll out over the next months:

-redoing our jurisdiction page.
-giving all our service pages a proper criteria list so you can see why they are listed.
-rolling out our mediawiki page which will include a glossary to explain all technical terms on the main site.

Very excited to make these things happen soon :)

In China, CCTV cameras were used to publicly shame citizens wearing pajamas in public, showing footage next to their photo ID. This isn't made up.

CCTV is starting to invade globally... reason No. 3,454 why we need strong privacy regulations. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51188669
