Activism's been slow for a while.
I mostly respond to survivors who are being hacked or stalked by abusive partners. That's about all I can handle, though I feel guilty for not doing more.
I'm quietly hoping to do more soon. Much love to everyone resisting violence <3
Password security is a relentless, difficult problem to solve.
As you consider biometrics, passwords, password managers, and other questions of personal security online, please emphasize survivors in your thoughts.
We need technology that is safe for the most vulnerable.
Password leaks do suck.
Tech emphasizes password leaks over domestic violence because leaks are dangerous for corporations and their consumers.
Survivors, especially women, are not a priority because they are not profitable.
Biometrics allow an abuser to access their partner's accounts through physical coercion.
Any conversation about password security that does not emphasize survivors is myopic, privileged, and harmful.

In Massachusetts, a programmer used bomb threats, fake social media, & revenge porn in a campaign of terror against a former roommate.
Cybersecurity cannot stop an abusive man from wanting to abuse.
