Dear Joe,
With respect, that "reckless" approach led to the largest reform of unconstitutional domestic surveillance since 1978, and the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service journalism. If that's what recklessness looks like, we could use a hell of a lot more of it. https://t.co/QliTqo7o3h

This is a fascinating and overlooked point about the Strava heatmap. For many potential applications of the data, such as city governments using it to determine where to add bike lanes, these data biases are important to keep in mind. https://t.co/kHi2QyYixG

Researcher @baricks has created this enlightening visualization showing how PayPal may share your data with third parties. The source is data made available due to strict EU privacy laws, and this scale of sharing is likely not limited to PayPal.

I admire the cryptographers who had the patience and courage to work on Privacy Enhancing Technologies for decades before the Snowden leaks, even though the world wasn't ready for them. This quote explains it perfectly. #RealWorldCrypto

A1: I'm a prof in CS at U. Utah School of Computing. @uutah @utahSoc. I work in algorithmic fairness and just finished teaching a class in ethics of data science. https://t.co/3yr5o36VS0 #ethicalCS https://t.co/HOASwA6euE

[Arvind Narayanan @random_walker]

This course looks outstanding!

We're reaching a tipping point: it's easier than ever to teach CS ethics because we have fantastic exemplars/prototypes to start from. And *not* having ethics in the CS curriculum is starting to look embarrassing for a university. https://t.co/FjS6YbyAOd

Cryptography (and cryptanalysis) helped defeat Hitler. But sure, cryptocurrencies. https://t.co/1BSfMnRMZv

@random_walker But wait, Bitcoin only needs to go up in value 10^19 for you to start making minimum wage, so like next month? </snark>

Great job this morning by @NateWessler, arguing in the Supreme Court to make sure we don’t have to sacrifice our privacy to use new technology.

A few thoughts on the argument: https://t.co/71s4djteR0
