I just migrated to @defcon.social from @infosec.exchange!

My principles are very straightforward:

1. Transparency is of utmost importance. This doesn't mean you have to make your entire life an open book. It just means being honest and authentic.

2. Mass surveillance is a violation of our civil liberties. In relation to the first point, "nothing to hide" doesn't mean "everything to see."

3. In relation to point two, I am completely against government and corporate overreach. That doesn't mean I am anti-civilization or anti-government. I am very much pro-security but I am also a supporter of limited government and civil rights.

4. Nuance matters. Reference my first three points made.

My opinions are subject to change granted I am presented with evidence to logically form a new conclusion.

I am empathetic but I have also seen and experienced a lot of manipulation. I am not quick to give anything I see or read on the internet validity. The data is the only thing that matters in this world; talk is cheap, show me the code.
