How often are we locked out of devices or accounts by the security meant to protect us? What other technologies cause unintended harm when we expect them to help?

Our team at Harvard and Berkeley is investigating.

We have run pilot surveys, shared our methodology and preliminary results, and now we want YOUR suggestions before we run our full study. Please help us as we promote a more open approach to science.

@adamshostack Heh, most of the mobile app dynamic analysis stuff I’ve been doing over the past 10 years was inspired by how much is missed by static analysis :)

@adamshostack Cool! We’re actually exploring this with regard to privacy compliance right now! (Lightweight methods to help developers think more about privacy responsibilities with regard to third-party component integrations.)

@cfiesler I’ve given guest lectures in law school classes on how the Internet works (including privacy/security issues) and have found it very rewarding.

Great (and terrifying) article on a new pseudoscience being used in criminal cases, “911 call analysis”:

https://www.propublica.org/article/911-call-analysis-fbi-police-courts

They Called 911 for Help. Police and Prosecutors Used a New Junk Science to Decide They Were Liars.

Tracing the fallacy of 911 call analysis through the justice system, from Quantico to the courtroom.
