Today I heard someone say "I'm going to google something" , then they corrected themselves (with no prompt whatsoever) to "actually I'm going to DuckDuckGo it because google is devil spawn".

I am rather happy.

@micahflee I know you’ve supported/posted about Keybase in the past. I’m curious on your opinions about Keybase now that they’re owned by zoom. Do you suggest leaving the platform? If so, are there similar/better platforms that have similar functionality? Thanks!

.@Amazon has just announced a one-year moratorium on police use of its dangerous "Rekognition" facial recognition tool.

But Amazon's @RING still partners with 1300 law enforcement agencies to put surveillance tech in the hands of unaccountable police. eff.org/deeplinks/2020/06/amaz

If you're a protester, consider taking actions like switching your phone to airplane mode or leaving it home altogether.

Even if you can't march in the streets, you still can hold police accountable by following the paper trail. @Muckrock has a great guide on how to start using freedom of information laws to investigate law enforcement. muckrock.com/news/archives/202

I want to somehow grind this video into the face of every "but rioting and looting are baaaad" person I see.

Really feeling frustrated with my previous self right now. I'm new to understanding the importance of privacy and have been doing some OSINT on myself.

I'm screwed. Business licenses, chat room records, addresses, phone numbers, emails, etc.

All publicly visible and accessible from even just a simple web search.

I have been so reckless, and it feels incredibly discouraging starting from a non-privacy-conscious place.

How does one recover from the past?

I'm new to mastodon and trying to learn more about online privacy. Who should I follow for privacy-related news, platforms, and conversation?

Thanks!

I'm not connected to many people here yet, so I hope someone sees this. It's always weird stating on a new platform.
