U.S. immigration is asking the public for feedback on a new proposal to collect social media handles from people applying for green cards and citizenship.

Free speech advocates are concerned over how expanded social media surveillance could impact asylum seekers, green card and citizenship applicants already living in the U.S. legally.

@AssociatedPress explains what the proposal means and how it might change online surveillance.

feeling the need to move away from proton for email and everything else suddenly. i don't know how I'm so out of the loop about these things but i just found out they're cozying up to Trump and have some really weird stuff going on with keys? maybe I'll have to read up on this more.

anyway, what real alternatives are there that support custom domains? are Tutanota and the other one any good?

I was afforded the opportunity to give my talk "But I Have Nothing to Hide: Common Sense Steps to Securing Your Online Privacy" at the #Orono Public Library this afternoon. For a rainy day we had a good and engaged turnout! I'm so proud to be able to help my fellow #mainers securing their #OnlinePrivacy and #DigitalAutonomy!

I've been thinking a lot about online #privacy. While the guides at privacyguides.org/ are amazing, I feel like many folks are deterred from making changes if they can't literally ditch Google and Facebook in a day.

I think it's really important to educate people that #onlineprivacy is a continuum; you can move closer to perfect secrecy little by little.

Basically, small, marginal improvements add up to make a big difference. You probably won't reach the privacy nirvana; but something is better than nothing.

Hand-drawn privacy continuum line. Far left = no privacy, far right = perfect secrecy. On the left side of the line is an indicator showing "Most People". Closer to the right side, a marker is labeled "Most Infosec/Cyber/Privacy People".

>...Some successes will require ongoing innovation. But if there is endless debate in the United States about online rights and privacy and security and free speech, and we’ve been reduced to xenophobic censorship and billionaire gatekeepers, while there’s a giant glowing solution to many of the basic dilemmas sitting on public display in Estonia, why not at least look at it? progressivehub.net/another-wor
