Every year, EFF takes part in @DragonCon in Atlanta, Georgia, to participate in a series of panels about technology, civil liberties, activism, and pop culture.
In cosplay. EFF staff members dressed in cosplay, standing in front of giant, inflatable dice and the EFF booth. Employees are dressed as Waldo from Wheres Waldo, Jessica Jones, Marcus from WatchDogs 2, and Mr. Robot.
Visit our table on the second floor of Hilton Atlanta, and learn how to make a sci-fi- or fantasy-themed password using GIANT 20 SIDED DICE! Or roll at home with downloadable wordlists from Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones fan pages. eff.org/deeplinks/2018…
Here's our schedule for the dozen+ panels where you can see us this weekend—and don't miss the free EFF Speakeasy (DragonCon attendance not required!) eff.org/event/eff-drag…

Once again, Facebook has put its profits over our privacy. nytimes.com/2018/12/18/tec…
Facebook should not be sharing users' private data with its business partners without users' knowledge and freely-given, specific, unambiguous consent.
This latest revelation underscores the need to strengthen data privacy laws in California and elsewhere to ensure users can hold companies accountable, and to resist efforts in Congress to preempt state data privacy protections.

The @SFChronicle's Editorial Board agrees: California's blanket collection and retention of genetic profiles from people arrested but never convicted of any crime is enormously overbroad sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
"[I]n a system where people are still innocent until proved guilty, there is just no legitimate reason for the state to collect and store the DNA profiles of people whose only infraction was being arrested and booked into jail." sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
The state's failure to automatically expunge DNA samples and profiles from the hundreds of thousands of Californians who were not ultimately convicted of a crime is unconstitutional, and we're suing to end it. eff.org/press/releases…

Shipping & Transit filed 107 patent lawsuits, earning more than $700,000 in one year—a campaign a federal judge called "predatory." Today it's bankrupt. wsj.com/articles/pushb…
1A Auto Inc., an online auto-parts retailer, beat Shipping & Transit and was awarded $120,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs, but never got paid. "I believe they pocketed all the money," said 1A's lawyer.

The Reichstag Warning ⚠️⚠️⚠️

By @TimothyDSnyder

On February 27, 1933 the German Parliament building burned, Adolf #Hitler rejoiced, and the #Nazi era began.

#Hitler, who had just been named head of a #government that was legally formed after the democratic #elections of the previous November, seized the opportunity to change the system. “There will be no mercy now,” he exulted. “Anyone standing in our way will be cut down.”
2/
The next day, at Hitler’s advice and urging, the #German #president issued a decree “for the protection of the people and the state.”

I’m suing Trump’s “Purge’n General” #KrisKobach.

@RevJJackson is joining me. Will you?

Support this action and help put an end to this vote thievery once and for all: palastinvestigativefund.org/?StopTheStealA…
#StopTheSteal
With the pro bono help of the firm of Mirer Mazzocchi & Julien, we are filing under the National Voter Registration Act to get the names of every one of the million voters purged from voter rolls using #KrisKobach’s infamous #Crosscheck program. gregpalast.com/im-in-wichita-…
We’ve sent legal notices to all 27 states in #KrisKobach’s #Crosscheck program to turn over their lists. While #Kobach has stonewalled us, a number of states including #Michigan and #Oklahoma, have turned over their hit lists rather than face us in court. gregpalast.com/im-in-wichita-…

#Series ¡Me gustó la música de #Versailles! He terminado las dos primeras temporadas de esta ambiciosa serie de #ficciónhistórica disponible en @NetflixLAT, y ya espero la tercera y última temporada. En este hilo compartiré una apreciación personal del #Score y del #Soundtrack.
En primer lugar va la intro, es tan poderosa, que no usé en ningún episodio la opción de saltar intro o adelantarla. Es un tema compuesto por los franceses @M83 llamado #Outro. Se puede escuchar en @Spotify - @SpotifyColombia :

This is a love letter Screenshot of the title card for
For the second time this year I've been shifted by @donaldglover's work. He forced me to confront the effects of consumerism on the lives of people of color in @AtlantaFX Robbin' Season; with Teddy Perkins still haunting me with the choice to either participate and brave the
scars of consumerist culture in order to make art, or risk being bound to the basement as a consequence for having the audacity to stay myself. Now I feel compelled to stare deeply into the dog and pony show of black popular culture through black culture with This Is America.
