Did I mention that we've been writing a book? Fundamentally, security, privacy, trust&safety, AI safety -- all the fields aimed at dealing with dealing with how technical systems hurt people and how to avoid it -- share a foundation. We cover how to think and achieve *truly* effective practice. 1/

Wow, what a winter wonderland out there! It's almost like some kind of Day After Tomorrow situation. Only, you know which day is before the day after tomorrow? That's right, it's another BoulderSec! Come on by tomorrow, May 7, 7:00pm at the Rayback collective where we can warm ourselves by the fire!

I don't know why I made this. Is it funny? Does it have purpose? If all humor is dadaist what separates wit from noise? Does this convey the artist's intended meaning that BoulderSec is tomorrow, Sept 4, 7:00pm at the Rayback and will have wonderful friends and food? I don't even know any more.

I wrote a very timely introduction to digital security for journalists for @gijn.org, this guidance may also apply to activists, lawyers, and anyone else doing at-risk work these days. gijn.org/resource/int...

Introduction to Investigative Journalism: Digital Security

Digital security may seem a little daunting at first, but increased security will help investigative journalists build trust with — and protect — current and future sources.
