Smash the firewall: digital defense for the misfits

Short url: 

https://squ.at/r/a591

Do you sense that whisper of paranoia lingering in the air?
Well, we've got your back. We're going to share some hard-earned lessons about staying safe and secure in the digital world - aimed at people in squats and involved in radical movements.
We won't be diving deep into technical details, but rather covering all the essentials: like passwords, data security, browsing habits, smartphone usage, and metadata. Most importantly, we'll discuss what it means to stay anonymous and understand potential threats models.
The content is based on a presentation that's been touring squats and radical spaces in Italy, put together by the folks at the _TO* hacklab.
