@blacklight447 @Tutanota @freddyym This seems a little strange. Why would they be taking code from Copperhead to paste into Graphene codebase if it originated with Graphene? Wouldn’t Daniel already have that code if it was his? I would expect more code going from Graphene into Copperhead if they were just using Daniel’s code. I’m not a lawyer, maybe I misunderstood the letters.

@blacklight447 @Tutanota @freddyym For the sake of transparency, are you part of Graphene? I know Daniel and James have issues, but it seems the hatred is always going from Daniel toward Copperhead, and I don’t see much from Copperhead attacking Daniel. How do we know he isn’t just a bitter ex-employee? How can we trust what Daniel says is true?

.@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.

Some tips from the EFF (ssd.eff.org/en/module/attendin).

Before the Protest
- Enable full-disk encryption on your device
- Remove fingerprint unlock and FaceID
- Install Signal
- Back up your data
- Buy a prepaid, disposable phone
- Consider biking or walking to the protest (to avoid Automated License Plate Reader Systems)

During the Protest
- Take photos and videos without unlocking your device
- Enable airplane mode

After the Protest
- Scrub metadata on photos

Wow. I hadn't seen or heard about this video. I'm impressed. He still seems surprisingly human - is he new to politics?
