Why do people gatekeep in the cybersecurity community?

B/c they're scared they are going to lose their edge.

I was taught that politics is disagreeing with how to address a problem, not disagreeing on whether the people suffering from the problem should be villainized.

We can negotiate on a solution to a problem. There is no middle ground on whether we should be villainizing the victims of a problem.

NEW: An IMSI Catcher (CSS/Stingray) was likely deployed at the DNC, potentially collecting sensitive phone data from protesters and politicians. Who authorized it—and why—remains a mystery.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

RESIST.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently
