They analyzed records and incidents between the years of 2000 and 2020 and made the full dataset publicly available in a searchable and sortable table on their site and downloadable as an Excel spreadsheet.

Dear Law Enforcement – It’s Your Fault We Justifiably Don’t Trust You

There’s been a lot of fuss lately about Apple’s move to take themselves out of the encryption loop when it comes to having access to your private data that you store on products you purchase from them. Apple will no longer have access to the private keys that can decrypt the information on your personal devices. Google quickly followed suit.

The Privacy War is Deeper Than The Battle of Verizon

It has come to light that the NSA, via a secret court order, is being handed the information on the calls of millions of people on the Verizon network.

The order directs Verizon to “continue production on an ongoing daily basis thereafter for the duration of this order”. It specifies that the records to be...
