When people make the argument that privacy tools are unnessesary, they are speaking from a very privledged place where they don't have to worry about exploitation, violence or social stigmitization. This seems to be really lacking in the conversation about personal security and privacy.

On the flip side you hear people defend criminal activity, online trolling, abuse, etc on secure froms of communication as a nessesary evil for privacy to be secured.

Who is part of the sec community matters.

"Data has become a form of property, and only those with the proper education, money, and resources will be able to collect, protect, and profit off of their data. This arrangement will undoubtedly impact the poor and vulnerable the most and push us further toward a world where privacy is a boutique commodity affordable only to the rich. The only solution is, when data must be collected, to socialize the profits."

right, biometric identification for targeted advertising, plus I'm gonna predict a touch of algorithmically automated body-shaming

after automated phrenology and magic psichometrics the next-level of machine-learning empowered bs science is here:

"DNA tests for IQ are coming, but it might not be smart to take one
Scientists have linked hundreds of genes to intelligence. One psychologist says it’s time to test school kids."

and while the science is bogus the privacy loss in giving away your DNA data is the real issue here so, testing school kids? sure..

A reporter for #KRIK, the Serbian partner of @OCCRP, spotted #Belgrade, #Serbia’s mayor Sinisa Mali last Sunday in the business class section of an #AirSerbia flight.

Mali was apparently visiting #Rome for a long weekend and staying in a five-star luxury hotel on a popular shopping street in the heart of Rome’s historical center, reporters learned. On the basis of the tickets and the hotel stay alone, the trip cost at least 7 months of Mali’s salary, KRIK estimates.

The #DaphneProject seeks to continue the work of killed journalist #DaphneCaruanaGalizia. The latest from the @OCCRP and partners:

Before she was killed, Caruana Galizia was investigating #Malta's citizenship for sale program. A new report shows deep connections between profits from the passports and profits from the politicians.
