Thanks for publishing my photograph, @OpenPriv, a new group with this mission:

  • To conduct scientific research advancing the area of privacy and anonymity as they relate to computer science and computer security.
  • To create and publish free and open source software that realizes our research and to make this software available and useful to the general public.
  • To promote good privacy and computer security practices through official publications, media outreach, and public speaking.

Even though this is a new group, I like the mission and the fact that it’s Vancouver based 🙂 .

The photograph itself was taken shortly after the 2016 election in Washington, DC. It’s useful to go back and look at the sentiment, which has really carried through to today. We are Washington, DC and As DC Goes So Goes the Nation.

The Open Privacy Research Society is a non-profit Canadian group based in Vancouver, British Columbia. We believe that moral systems enable consent. Our society exists to invent, create, build, test, publish, deploy, promote, and to encourage the development of such systems
