Whitney Merrill is a privacy attorney, worked with the EFF and runs the Crypto and runs the Crypto Privacy Village at DEF CON. (See a pattern yet?) This month we have a very fun and lighthearted chat with Whitney about things like:
- Is it possible to remain private today?
- Is it possible to be safe and date online?
- How dangerous is OSINT?
- And so much more
You can find out more about Whitney on her website: https://whitneymerrill.com/ She recommends the book “How To Make a Spaceship” by Julian Guthrie
Enjoyed this podcast. I shared it with my NextDoor community. I post periodic information security awareness bulletins on NextDoor, and the romantic nature of this particular podcast hit the note for this week 🙂
