It's not a coincidence that when Tor wanted to get rid of Jacob Appelbaum, they shuffled him off to academia, where he's been ever since.
I finally finished this article and it is a doozy, especially learning that one harrasser was hired "...despite knowing he had stood down as dean of the business school at Cornell University...following a personal relationship with a junior employee..."

"...a burner phone is meant to be truly anonymous. This requires going to a store via public transit without a phone while wearing some kind of disguise, paying in cash, activating the phone in a coffee shop while spoofing your MAC address... unnecessary for most people"
I wrote a bit about options for phones at protests, explaining the benefits and drawbacks, and added some security tips at the end.
Options for Phones at Protests
Simply showing up to a protest leaves you susceptible to all sorts of surveillance, including cameras, drones, facial recognition, and more. There's not always a lot you can do about pernicious street...

On the subject of genocide: you do not need a new phone.
Refurbished phones are fine.
Last year’s model is fine.
Anything that still gets security updates is fine.

Never again is now for everyone.
No matter who the victims are.

“Western civilisation” is a lie.
Either you consider all people full human beings who deserve universal rights, or you are a genocide apologist.
Don’t let politicians twist it.

The blood of Anas al-Sharif and other slain journalists is on the hands of Western media figures who have justified Israel’s crimes while ignoring, or excusing, the killing and intimidation of Palestinian journalists.

The OG Nazis were wellness and fitness hacks and also interested in the occult. Neonazis didn’t have to infiltrate New Age groups- they have been there from the beginning. And we absolutely told you, and you told us it was in our heads. Now the antivaxxers are going to be running the show.
Disabled people have been warning you about the racism, misogyny, ableism, classism, colonialism and fascism in "wellness" spaces for years and you didn't listen.
Turns out a lot of "wellness" influencers & sycophants voted Tr*mp because they wanted R F K at HHS. They are celebrating.

A lot of your software freedom rockstar heroes saw Gamergate and alt-right bro shit in person and did nothing about it.
Remember this when they show up demanding to lead the resistance.

As soon as someone claims that a group of people of a certain ethnicity, race, religion, or national origin "don't love their children like us", be aware that this is fascist bullshit.
You are dealing with someone using dehumanising language.
Don't fall for it, don't tolerate it, call it out.
