@geoma @JupiterRowland This is really useful info. I get the feeling that Hubzilla would be good for #coops #charities #communitygroup and #nonprofit orgs.

The Security Web Application Guidelines #CommunityGroup wants to understand how developers are using specific web platform #security features, and what the barriers are to the adoption. #WebApps

📢 Take their survey at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-8DvgiB3AqrFU7tqe0GCoQsh6lfdOHHnUldOzMrtmeQ/viewform?pli=1&pli=1&pli=1&pli=1&edit_requested=true

Web security survey

Thanks for taking our survey about the usage of web platform security features. We're the W3C Security Web Application Guidelines Community Group (SWAG CG), and our mission is to develop guidelines for the usage of web platform security features, to help web developers secure their sites. We're trying to understand whether developers are using specific web platform security features, and what the barriers are to the adoption of these features. The survey itself is in three parts: 1. About you: this section asks some questions about you and your level of experience of both general web development technology and web security technology in particular. This helps us understand how different individuals have different perspectives on web security, and helps us design guidelines to help as many developers as possible. 2. Web security features: this asks some questions about your usage of some specific web platform security features. 3. Web security interview: this asks if you would be willing to participate in a short interview with members of SWAG CG, so we can understand better why you use, or don't use, particular features. This information is especially important to us, because it's the kind of qualitative data we can't get through analytics. So if you can spend a little time to talk to us, it would be very much appreciated.

Last week in Barcelona 🇪🇸, @simone, @w3c's #security lead, ran a "Threat Modeling with LEGO© SERIOUS PLAY©" hands-on workshop to explore digital identity risks.

▶️ https://www.w3.org/blog/2025/threat-modeling-with-lego-serious-play-building-your-digital-identity-threat/

Participants built physical models of harms (e.g. profiling, discrimination, misuse of data) and then derived threats from them. The process helped visualize risks and connect social, ethical, and technical issues beyond traditional threat modeling.
