This week we'll cover some of the building blocks of privacy advocacy: threat modeling, and learning basic privacy strategies and tools. Threat modeling is a method for figuring out a privacy strategy that works for someone based on their unique needs. Alison will teach us how to threat model, and then we'll talk about some of the 101 level ways that anyone can protect their privacy. We'll close out the lecture with some resources for learning how to do basic privacy education.
