Image SourceProtecting yourself, loved ones and collaboratorsThis workshop is aimed at all people who use phones and computers including people who “are bad at tech”.The content is based on research, working with security experts and on the ground experience working with community activists and people who believe government and corporations do not have the right to spy on people by default.We will cover both personal privacy and also remote collaboration.
Webinar is based on this guide:
Digital Security for Everyone – This guide is designed for beginners and non-technical people with the aim of increasing security across our whole community.

Introductory discussion on what we know about the systems, why people don’t care about this and explore mis-truths about the surveillance systems that target everyday people by default.
Part Two – Digital Security Concepts
Concepts to consider when sorting out your digital privacy and security.
Part Three – tools
Demonstration of tools to help protect yourself, loved ones and collaborators. These recommendations are based on using these tools on the ground in organising and protest, as well as flirting with our lovers.
