    dogman, thank you for the heads up about this social-cybersecurity group. It does seem related, and I'll be sure to check them out. Lately, someone has also mentioned m3aawg.org, w…

    Yep! We both quit FB in 2019. This has been our (full time, volunteer, spending our savings) job since ~Jan/Feb of this year. It's taken a long time to gather people, build trust, …

    Hi! Thanks for the constructive question. I agree with you that it's nuanced, and also I'm sad that it's getting polarized/simplified in some venues. I don't think we have gotten a…

    This is a great example of the kind of stuff we want to be talking about and looking at. Design changes that apply across the board. You could imagine us swapping notes, and doing …

    We spent a good amount of space on the website laying out different types of work that are covered in the term "integrity". I also do very strongly think there is a moral/ethical d…

    One thing we focus on is not really looking at content at all, but instead, behavior. Mostly -- spam. One way to see what we're doing is glorified spamfighting. Except the spam som…

    This is a great question! I'm still trying to find a top-down definition instead of a "I know it when I see it" one. To me it's probably something like this: we can think about an …
