My podcast partner on the internet sabotaging the saboteurs is my favorite sporting event. Watching HiFi use his war-time trolling prowess to expose the venal networks of online phonies laundering disinformation through Twitter is as good as it gets.
He has exposed entire networks of online terrorists reducing their efficacy, and I am grateful.
We live in a post-privacy world in a hot information war, and I salute the bravery of my allies. I have also learned that we can dial down our attack surface, which will be part of what we discuss on Wednesday at the Zoom Tutorial/Fundraiser.
Yesterday, on a panel in a Medieval Hall built in 1388, I got a hearty round of applause from 700 people after answering a question about what I thought was missing from the US election coverage. More on that soon, but I am just sharing this with you because there are moments in a writer’s life that make the whole damn thing worth it, and I had one of those moments yesterday.
I just had coffee in the rain with a Bette Founding Member, who came from a different country to meet me in the UK at the Byline Festival. That, too, was one of those moments.
I’m late for a panel on how we prevent World War 3, so I’m just dashing this off to you so you have time to register in advance.
JULY 10 — Bette Zoom Tutorial/Fundraiser, Wednesday, July 10, 12 pm PT/3 pm ET
A Bette member from Canada had the idea for a tutorial/fundraiser to teach Zoom literacy, security functions, and an overall education on how to safely use the platform. The 90-minute event is open to all membership levels, and will include a tip jar if you would like to offer additional support. I will be co-hosting this event with my podcast partner High Fidelity, a Silicon Valley technologist with expertise in platform security functions. The first 45-minutes will be spent walking users through Zoom functions, and the second 45 minutes we will answer any questions. Registration link below paywall.
Thank you everyone for your support of my work, and thank you to each of you helping grow this vibrant, pro-democracy network.
