Something about the NSA disclosures that y'all may not know:
The NSA document consisted of 41 PowerPoint slides, but only five of the
41 have been released. The fifth slide has a very interesting history.
When the Guardian first revealed that NSA had backdoors into the servers
of Google, Facebook, and other companies, a couple of those CEOs
(Zuckerberg and Page)stepped forward to deny it altogether.
Then the fifth slide was released. Quote:
"Collection directly from the servers of these US service providers:
Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple."
"Collection" is the USIC term for interception. And the phrase
"directly from the servers" couldn't be more clear.
Keeping your data in their clouds, or using their email services, only
encourages them. A boycott of all of them would send a "market signal."
There's more to this story, and what's been published so far is only the
very small tip of a very large iceberg.

There was some discussion about this at the last
meeting, mostly around
securing personal data on physical devices, but it would be good to have
another end-user based cryptoparty, even have it be a full-day event
stemming from Today I Learned. I'll bring this up at the meeting on
Wednesday.

Hey Sudoroomers,
I've been deluged by friends this weekend suddenly interested in things
like finally figuring out how to install that there tor, or god forbid
venturing into the realm of pgp. I offered my nonstop 1:1 handholding
services over facebook to any and all friends and have been a little
overwhelmed by the number.
Someone local suggested a teach day at Sudoroom and I thought I'd check to
see if anyone else is interested and, you know, what actual members have to
say.
There has never been a more opportune moment for cryptoparty outreach, and
yet I haven't seen anyone declare anything yet. Am I just out of the loop?
