I'm sure many of you have had some variation of the "I don't care about my privacy because I have nothing to hide!" conversation with other people.

I'm curious, how do you respond to that? Let's collect some talking points and inspire each other!

My typical response is a variation of "Privacy isn't just about hiding something. It's about being able to decide for yourself what others know about you and what they do with that knowledge."

Two or more generations of left activists have grown up reading Noam #Chomsky's fearless exposure of the US imperium. Many now feel shattered, duped, and bewildered by the revelations of the extent of his relationship with #Epstein. Chris Knight explains what lies behind this extraordinary paradox, the Two Chomskys

RE: https://icco-lab.life/notes/aibcxdj7nx5w0swq

When I saw the other journalists that were nominated, I didn't think there was a chance (e.g. ProPublica was nominated for their excellent investigative reporting uncovering the Pentagon's reliance on Chinese contractors for cloud work). I'm very flattered to be in such great company. Thank you to the Institute for Security and Technology (IST) for this award.

Last night's IST gala at the National Press Club was a stroll down memory lane in many ways. Ran into people I haven't seen in person for ages, and most of them have been involved in shaping cybersecurity policy for 25+ years.

It was also bittersweet because I spent a lot of time at the Press Club as a reporter at The Washington Post, and I'm still livid about the insanity of the 300 or so WaPo journalists who lost their jobs this week.

I'm particularly mystified by the decimation of the Post's Metro staff; despite its stature as a top source of national and international news, The Washington Post has always maintained a strong focus on what's going on in the DC area. When they merged washingtonpost.com with the dead tree edition in 2009 and eliminated my job, the mantra of the company was they wanted to be THE source of news about what's happening in the Nation's Capital, and how policy being made in DC affects the rest of the world. Here's part of what I told the audience last night:

"I was horrified this week to see The Washington Post lay off 300 of its 800 remaining journalists -- the third major staff reduction in as many years. A lot of the cuts are deeply affecting the foreign and local metro staff; it's easy to forget the Watergate scandal started as a metro story. Probably we need several hundred more reporters digging into what this administration is doing, because Watergate frankly can't hold a candle to it all."

"I'm hoping all of the post-Posties will land in a better place soon, but I also hope they can keep doing their important work regardless of where it comes from. And I will continue to advocate for, support and encourage anyone who wants to go the independent route. I think journalism is going to be just fine for now, but I'm not sure I share the same view about many traditional news organizations. I hear from a lot of reporters considering the going out on their own worry about not having a big publication name to automatically open doors for them, or watch their backs legally, and those are certainly big adjustments of going solo. But you know what makes all that worth it? When you're breaking news that forces important people to answer hard questions, and the gatekeepers go, wait, who are you with again?"

One of my sister's cats always looks so mad and it cracks me up.

If it’s time for open source to get political that means accessibility and project demographics that reflect society, correct?

It means conferences that are safe for disabled people and gender minorities, correct? It means conferences without racist nonsense, correct?

It means equitable funding practices that don’t require playing silly games with corrupt “anti-corruption” practices, and no need for small projects to hire grant writers, correct?

It means looking at the impact of EU tech supply chains on the Global Majority, and giving money to local projects instead of trying to get a bunch of pale Europeans to cut out the “White Man’s Burden 3.0: Bleep Bloop Computers” nonsense, correct?

Or do organisations mean “getting political” to mean “Murica bad, Europe good”? Same nonsense, but the US flag has an EU flag stuck on over it. Not that, correct?

Here goes my lead balloon: a reputation based ranking system. Negative interactions, harassment, being blocked all reduce ranking while positive interactions boot score. Then people can set a threshold on who they want to interact with based on score. Maybe 0 to 100 with everyone starting at 75.

I thought I'd check out the winter olympics by watching some ski jumping.

Then I ended up watching the bobsleigh, downhill, freestyle skiing and luge as well.

It's a slippery slope.
