Watching this log4j bug metastasize, I’m seeing people ask why industry doesn’t fund open source. I don’t have a great answer, but I have some thoughts following the experience with Heartbleed in ‘14. 1/
The naivety from this @smh editorial is pretty amazing:
"if Big Tech opens a back door it should be a very small one which does not allow malign actors to snoop on private communications"
As if the size of a 'back door' will stop the 'baddies'.

That's a nice start, but I only see the app code. If we can't see the #COVIDSafeApp server code too, we don't even know what's in the encrypted messages we're sending.
Wait... how can Covid-19 contact tracing apps (like #DP3T and @COVIDWatchApp) protect our health AND privacy?
Well! Here's a one-page comic explainer! 👇

1/ #COVID tracing:
* is important
* can be done in a decentralised model that protects privacy better than a centralised one
So it’s not right to present it as ‘society can defend against #COVID19 OR ppl can have privacy, so suck it and live with the loss of privacy’
Alarming news on @xychelsea
On 1 Nov I called on #USGovt to terminate her coercive detention without delay, categorized it as #torture (https://t.co/uhqKoFBftQ ) & reiterated this in my official report to #HRC43 (https://t.co/azqzjMwvN8).
No response.
