I helped organize and spoke for 2 hours at the 09 Feb Boston Cryptoparty hosted by NorthEastern Law School. I talked about Tor, privacy, tails, how your data traverses the Internet, who can collect what, and showed people how much information they share just by connecting to NEU's guess wireless network. Videos and/or audio from the event should be online at some point.
I had some great conversations with people interested in learning about their privacy online, how to better protect their data from their ISP (landline and/or mobile), and how much their smartphone gives away their data without their approval nor knowledge. I had an enlightening conversation with some labor organizers who talked about near slavery conditions in some New England industries; and the industry response to threaten and conduct total surveillance on the employees trying to unionize. Thanks to the ACLU of Massachusetts, National Lawyers Guild--Northeastern University School of Law Chapter, the Massachusetts Pirate Party, the Tor Project, Digital Fourth, Restore the Fourth Boston, and the Free Software Foundation for co-sponsoring, getting involved, and speaking at the cryptoparty.
