Week 4: Privacy tools and strategies 101

• Real time lecture: October 25th, 12 - 2 pm Pacific/3 - 5 pm Eastern on Zoom https://zoom.us/j/9129428892
• Slides:
• Recording:

Overview

various privacy tools that solve different problems, and will discuss the threat models that might find each tool relevant, as well as the amount of friction and technical difficulty that users often experience with each tool. Those in the cohort who are already teaching privacy are invited to talk about their experiences with these tools, as well as their preferred privacy tools that aren't covered in the lecture.

This week we'll discuss privacy tools and strategies, covering mobile device security, passwords, texting, email, browsers, and whatever else we have time for (we'll continue our conversation on privacy tools next week as well). We'll be focusing mainly on how each of these tools apply to the protestor threat model, but we'll also talk through some other threat models and how the recommendations might be the same or different.
