Every time the US has a change of administration, @EFF staffers - lawyers, policy analysts, activists - create a "transition memo": a series of one-page briefings on the tech policy issues the new admin should take up. The Biden memo is GREAT.

It opens with a section on surveillance, with three subsections:

I. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act

II. Facial Recognition Technology

III. Border Search and Immigration Surveillance

Next up is encryption:

I. Background on Encryption Backdoors

II. End-to-End Encryption and Client-Side Scanning

Last August, @ozm published my first nonfiction book in nearly a decade: HOW TO DESTROY SURVEILLANCE CAPITALISM is a short book (or long pamphlet) that presents an anti-monopoly critique of the "surveillance capitalism" theory.

The book's a free online read, and now it's a paper artifact. Next Thursday, Onezero will launch both a DRM-free ebook and print edition of my book, and to celebrate, I'm doing a online chat with OZ's editor in chief, @dberes. It's free to attend!

The book's main argument is that Big Tech lies about how good it is at manipulating us with data - that its dangerous manipulation doesn't come through junk-science "big five personalities" and "sentiment analysis" but just from dominating and distorting our lives.

Trump was a very specific kind of disaster: a chaos agent, who lacked the wit, patience and executive function to recruit the powerful institutions of the US military-industrial complex to fight his corner.

1/ Image
The kind of guy who demands the impossible and then fires and publicly humiliates any allies who fail to deliver - or dare to contradict him - is not the kind of guy who can build new, enduring, evil institutions.

2/
The best he can hope for is to get some trumpalike goblins into positions of power (where they will replicate his chaos, but without the broad impunity of the presidential office, resulting in a series of resignations and prosecutions), back by executive orders.
