A great conversation with the guys at @arcanumventures.bsky.social ! We talk #privacy and all things dystopian, while keeping the convo as light as possible and only mildly geeky 🤓

What if your private messages, habits, and decisions were being silently recorded and weaponized? We sat down with @profdiggity.com from @ivycyber.com to unpack all the key issues with identity, #privacy, and data. You won’t see your online life the same ever again... Watch ⤵️ youtu.be/H37PS4IKSIc

Shaping up to be a BIG week 🎶 @privacysafe.social

Does anyone have a cure for my dog's blurry

NEW: 1km of Montreal’s Ste-Catherine Street will become permanently “pedestrian only” (less than perfect term since it will be a people-place for a LOT more than walking). 225+ new trees, vegetation-covered pits for rain drainage, more seating, illuminated canopy, financial help for businesses, etc.

obligatory "spring paradox" reference... closing a heavily-trafficked street will likely *reduce* traffic jams and speed up car travel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QTk...

The #FlipperZero is great and not a criminal tool, glad to see them cut through the FUD Re: the actual criminals, I'm impressed at the distance key fobs can be activated through walls. The fact that this rarely happens highlights that most people are *not* criminals blog.flipper.net/can-flipper-...

for all the prompt engineers out there, I've discovered this useful zero shot prompt 😉

After a few minutes of "vibe coding" a crap web page with ChatGPT, the result is #VibeCrap 💩! ⚠ WARNING: Eats Memory - vibecrap.com This parody project by @IvyCyberEd demonstrates just how fast #genAI can churn out terrible, anti-pattern-filled code. cc @scottjshapiro.bsky.social

Unfortunately my talk conflicted with @yaelwrites.com but you should check out the replay below. She has worked in the past on #privacy investigations with @profdiggity.com and I respect her work at @consumerreports.org

We have a live show with @johnkiriakou.bsky.social and @tedrall.bsky.social l interviewing @jaketapper.bsky.social ! Questions related to the book about #Biden are welcome :D We're in sunny Spain having an honest and engaging conversation with the @ivycyber.com crew! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLOX...

I'm giving another free talk on #AI at the amazing @nhfpl.bsky.social as part of their "2025 Big Read" program which has the theme #Fahrenheit451🔥 If you're in #NewHaven stop by for the fun and provocative conversation. We'll talk about #privacy, creativity & more 👇 psafe.ly/WxqNT4

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Machine Learning from #Stanford Online 🤖 This was one of the most difficult #AI and #MachineLearning programs I've completed but it was well worth it. psafe.ly/fkwKgU

gm @privacysafe.social . Today is a good day 🤓

🚨 Boosting this smart thread from @evangreer.bsky.social of @fightfortheftr.bsky.social . “Don’t bring your phone” isn’t always good advice at a #protest. In many cases, it’s the opposite. Your phone is a tool: for documentation, safety, communication. Let’s talk about how to use it wisely. 🧵👇

For the vast majority of above-ground public protests “don’t bring your phone” is actually bad security advice. You are much more likely to need your phone to call for help or document police aggression than you are to be arrested later cuz your phone pinged a cell tower near the raging grannies

At this week’s Ideas Lunch, we had the pleasure of hosting @ariezra.bsky.social’s enlightening presentation on “Challenging Technology Expertise!”

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Online ID checks will, without a doubt, RUIN the internet as we know it. www.stoponlineidchecks.org #privacy #freespeech

Face verification is a serious threat to #privacy. There is a lot to watch these days, but please take this campaign by @fightforthefuture.org seriously! www.stoponlineidchecks.org

Last week I attended the "Free Speech in Crisis" conference at @yalelawschool-yls.bsky.social hosted by @yaleisp.bsky.social . Of all the events I've been at for #Yale ISP over the years, it was definitely one of the most timely and thought-provoking.

What does cybersecurity have to do with backups? A lot, actually. If you ever get hacked some malware and ransomware specifically target your data—locking or erasing it completely. Without a recent backup, you risk losing important documents, cherished photos, and more. #WorldBackupDay

Is there something in the news about @signal.org ? 😏 Just a *few* conversations trending across @privacysafe.social privacysafe.social/explore/links

Today I guest lectured at #Villanova Law for Amy Emerson's class on #Cybersecurity about the #privacy challenges we face in our sensor-rich digital world. 🛡️ In a world full of trackers, lawyers must be digital defenders. Thread. 🧵👇

As @hartzog.bsky.social succinctly puts it: ban it.

Great piece by Trent Kannegieter in @techpolicypress.bsky.social that's worth some serious contemplation. My thoughts after reading, below. 🔗 psafe.ly/DaAch2 🧵👇

Got them #FridayVibes watching the @privacysafe.social privacysafe.social Trends feed fill up. 🤩

To start the weekend, we've got a brand new experience for case law on CourtListener. It has better typography, more features and metadata, five million scanned decisions from @harvardlil.bsky.social, and a lot more. Read all about it and let us know what you think: free.law/2025/03/21/c...

@pixelfed.ie and @dansup.bsky.social + team have blown past the goal for the Pixelfed + Loops #kickstarter 🙌 At #PrivacySafe we're proud to be a Diamond Sponsor and can't wait to see what a decentralized, photo sharing, video sharing, #social future holds! Here's to the #fediverse 🥂
