  1. Think of online anonymity as being one person in a vast crowd. Every piece of personal information you reveal reduces the size of that crowd, the group of people you could plausibly be. For example, revealing your gender cuts the number of potential identities roughly in half.

    One way to regain some anonymity is through deliberate disinformation. Suppose you share \(n\) independent yes/no facts about yourself, but intentionally flip \(k\) of them (without the attacker knowing which). In that case, you increase the number of identities consistent with your answers by a factor of \(C(n,k)\).

  5. Why are people ranting about how much they hate Trump and AI and then sharing AI generated images and videos of Trump?

  6. Misleading headlines, out-of-context quotes, fake accounts pretending to be news….disinformation is everywhere, and it’s meant to confuse and divide us.

    But we’re not powerless. Being a little more skeptical, asking a few questions, and double-checking sources can go a long way. #DemocratsAbroad #ThinkBeforeYouShare #Disinformation #VoteFromAbroad

  11. It’s really hard to make people understand that it matters who controls me and who has my #data.

    It’s like they’d leave the bathroom door open while using the toilet and even put a camera in their living room on purpose.

    This "I don’t care" attitude hurts everyone. And that "I’ve got nothing to hide" stuff is really annoying.

  21. Boosted a thing yesterday (since unboosted) so now I’m boosting a thing by @micefearboggis making good points why I shouldn’t have, but should instead have listened to that nagging feeling and taken five to think it over, especially given that I was sort of familiar with these points already. Sigh.

  34. Disinformation often targets the European Parliament. Some people are claiming a video shows a politician allegedly taking drugs in the EP chamber.
    The claim is clearly false. The video is not filmed in the EP, it is from 2019, and it does not show an MEP.
