Thank you for highlighting our project on compliance of mobile apps with CCPA Jordan L Fischer Esq! It's great to be working with you together with shayna, Zaina Siyed, Primal Wijesekera, Chris Hoofnagle, and Serge Egelman (@v0max.bsky.social)! Amazing team to be part of :)

A colleague of mine is running a survey that aims to understand people's attitudes towards contact-tracing apps. The results will help understand the factors that drive the adoption of these apps, so please fill out the survey if you have the opportunity: scsstcd.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5h…

"Investigating the Compliance of Android App Developers with the CCPA" (Research Proposal) (Nikita Samarin, Kothari, Siyed, Primal Wijesekera, Jordan L Fischer Esq, Chris Hoofnagle, Serge Egelman (@v0max.bsky.social) - UC Berkeley International Computer Science Institute) #ConPro21 ieee-security.org/TC/SPW2021/Con…

Happening later today at #ConPro21! Tune in to hear shayna present the ways that we investigate the compliance of Android apps with the provisions of the #CCPA. And please feel free to reach out if you have any ideas, feedback, or thoughts about a potential collaboration!

This Fall I will TA Berkeley’s CS195: “Social Implications of Computer Technology”. I’d love to get ideas on topics to cover and pointers to existing syllabi (e.g. Mozilla’s Playbook). And if you work in this area and would like to give a guest lecture, please reach out as well!

If you are an information security or privacy researcher from Ukraine at any point in your academic career (e.g., intern, PhD student, postdoc, etc.), please feel free to connect and message me if you need help getting in touch with research labs supporting Ukrainian academics.

PLEASE RT: "Quick Actionable Digital Security tips" (2022) English / Ukrainian / Russian peace to all sentient beings. PDF at cryptoharlem.com/resources Thank you its me, n-n-naitru Nikita Samarin, sage cheng, & the rest of the team of volunteers that made these possible. 🕊☮

Excited to be attending #EDPSconf2022 happening over the next two days in Brussels. Thank you EDPS for bringing together privacy professionals from Europe and beyond!

Check out the new paper by Black Lives Matter and my colleagues at UC Berkeley that defines and evaluates an assessment methodology for conducting systematic security and privacy analyses of the backup and recovery functionality of 2FA apps (e.g., Google Authenticator).

One of my goals for the previous year was to create an open-source repository of resources devoted to teaching about the ethical implications of computer technologies. Happy to report that I launched this website a few days ago: computer-ethics.com What are your thoughts?
