We live in an age of pervasive digital surveillance, whether those prying eyes are marketers, hackers, governments, or employers. Learning the principles of online digital privacy is essential for navigating daily online activities, such as communicating with friends, engaging in social activism, or accessing a banking or credit card account.
This workshop will provide the tools and tips you need to make more informed decisions concerning your online activity. Here are some questions we will answer:
- How can I manage all my passwords?
- What options are available for browsing anonymously online?
- Should I use the cloud to sync my devices?
- How can I chat online privately?
- What are some trusted sources for learning more about digital privacy and security?
Since each individual’s “threat model” is different, this workshop aims to provide practical information to help you think more clearly about your digital privacy needs. Our intended audience is the community of regular Internet users who wish to start thinking a little more systematically about their online activity.
