"You know how right now, while the government is shut down and food stamps for millions of Americans are set to expire one week from now, Trump is tearing down the East Wing of the White House to build himself a privately funded ballroom? Some of the companies who are funding Trump’s ballroom include: Amazon, Apple, Coinbase, Google, Meta, and Microsoft.
This talk mostly isn’t about reactionary tech billionaires and their complicit companies. Instead, it’s about attacks that we should be prepared for during this Age of Technofascism, and ways we can defend against them.
In this talk, I’m going to try to give some specific, actionable advise about three three topics: mercenary spyware, device searches, and app censorship.
But don’t think of this as a checklist that all you have to do is finish and then you’re good. Ultimately, what we all need to do, is build an intentional and forgiving security culture. These are things to talk over with your friends, colleagues, and family members as shared practices.
Fascists are targeting everyone outside their in-group. If we want to keep our communities safe, our defenses need to be collective, not individual."
