Week 12: Privacy tools and how to teach them 101

• Real time lecture: October 8th 9 - 11 Pacific/12 - 2 Eastern on Zoom https://zoom.us/j/9129428892

Overview

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.
