Donald Trump controls the NSA.
If that gives you pause, consider heading over to a workshop hosted at Brooklyn’s leading crypto shop, ConsenSys, in East Williamsburg next Monday.
The workshop, organizers write, will “focus on practical internet safety and simple practices non-technical users can implement to keep their communications secret and their information private while producing as little linkable ‘metadata’ as possible in the course of navigating the Internet.”
It will be led by Mike Goldin, a blockchain software engineer at ConsenSys who worked on the smart contract back end for Ujo Music, a Brooklyn blockchain-based music company we recently covered.
The event, titled “Wine n Learn” (wine will be served), brings up some pretty dang important questions:
RSVPHow can we exercise our rights to speech, dissent and privacy in this new world? How can we do so safely, without exposing ourselves to targeting on the basis of the data routinely leaked in the course of normal Internet usage?
