Cybersecurity vs the world
summary
Argues that “cybersecurity” laws and products often enable repression rather than safety: Vietnam’s 2019 law forces companies to open local offices and leads to jailed activists; Facebook deactivates over 300 government-linked accounts tied to Myanmar abuses; India uses Aadhaar checks and frequent internet shutdowns to control speech. Offers concrete countermeasures from Tactical Tech: an evidence report personal data political persuasion documenting 300+ firms doing voter manipulation, a practical data detox kit (eight-day steps) and an investigative kit for low-cost OSINT that activists actually use.
