Are you a part of a community in NYC that has been censored on social media, tracked by Flock cameras, or threatened with targeted surveillance? As a part of The Counterstructural Commons program, presented in collaboration with @Mozillafoundation , beck @n1_abba_fan is presenting a series of events with @y2kbug.zip and invited guests that investigate the systems that investigate us. We'll talk about who is collecting our information and strategize through teach-ins and zine-making. If you're interested in participating in any of these events, please RSVP at link in bio! Title font is “i am your worst fear; i am your best fantasy / FIRST GAY AMERICANS” that @genderfail created, inspired by protest signs from the 70’s.

looking at everyone’s zines at @wearealreadygathered has been so fun I made my own!
here’s an intro to security culture, threat modeling and risk assessment (in the context of community organizing and existing as a surveilled person)
if you’re not sure what kinds of measures to take or where to start, these are great starting points for yourself, loved ones and your org.

At our last gathering, we who have posted online about Palestine got together to discuss surveillance of social media activity and broader surveillance of activists with @y2kbug.zip .
our zine around documenting political activity and being documented participating was available at the gathering and here’s our digital version!
you see how we don’t post identifying information about our gatherings’ attendees? very mindful.
so we’ve been talking about surveillance tech and the channels our data flows through…now let’s talk about what kind of data we should protect and how.
here’s a zine we made about what sensitive info is, and how to protect it.
#opsec #digitalprivacy #zine #tech
is it your personal FBI agent in your phone, or is it aggregate data, cookies, pixels and metadata?
we made a zine to share at our @wearealreadygathered gatherings about how data flows through surveillance structures and wanted to share it on here too.
so excited to announce our next speaker, stay tuned :)

The 1️⃣ and only @y2kbug.zip , founder of @cachemeoutsi.de , will be leading our teach-in this Saturday! Let’s talk about organizing networks on and offline, mutual aid, and not doxing at the protest.
RSVP for exact location; we’re doing this picnic-style.
we all get used to the services we use, and it‘s hard to let go of comfort and routine even if we don’t agree with their values & politics. if you have been planning to 📀 break up with spotify 💿 and just can’t get around to it, are unsure about alternatives, or just want to (re)learn analog ways to enjoy music, @cachemeoutsi.de is there to equip you with the skills you need at our featured event @bar.jade.bk on 4/18 from 6-9pm <3
