Why #privacy is important, and having "nothing to hide" is irrelevant robindoherty.com/2016/01/06/not…

Watching this log4j bug metastasize, I’m seeing people ask why industry doesn’t fund open source. I don’t have a great answer, but I have some thoughts following the experience with Heartbleed in ‘14. 1/

The naivety from this @smh editorial is pretty amazing: "if Big Tech opens a back door it should be a very small one which does not allow malign actors to snoop on private communications" As if the size of a 'back door' will stop the 'baddies'. smh.com.au/national/big-t…

@noneuclideangrl and I have written a summary of the outstanding issues with #covidsafe, 4 weeks after launch. Still major privacy concerns! docs.google.com/document/d/17s… @arielbogle @phocks @joshgnosis @bengrubb @stilgherrian @jamietarabay Thanks to @VTeagueAus & @wabzqem

Miss EFA Talks? Here is the video from Lucie Krahulcova from @accessnow talking digital rights in a pandemic & #COVID19au tracing apps with EFA's Policy Chair Angus Murray - thanks to all - join us again on 20 May 2020 for next EFA talks! #auslaw #auspol youtu.be/TI6RycNsHrY

That's a nice start, but I only see the app code. If we can't see the #COVIDSafeApp server code too, we don't even know what's in the encrypted messages we're sending.

Wait... how can Covid-19 contact tracing apps (like #DP3T and @COVIDWatchApp) protect our health AND privacy? Well! Here's a one-page comic explainer! 👇 (condensed version of twitter.com/mikarv/status/… . cc0/public domain, re-post freely!)

1/ #COVID tracing: * is important * can be done in a decentralised model that protects privacy better than a centralised one So it’s not right to present it as ‘society can defend against #COVID19 OR ppl can have privacy, so suck it and live with the loss of privacy’

Alarming news on @xychelsea On 1 Nov I called on #USGovt to terminate her coercive detention without delay, categorized it as #torture (bit.ly/2ZAn10Y ) & reiterated this in my official report to #HRC43 (bit.ly/2vYhNBL). No response. dailym.ai/2W4yqq3
