In general we took the view that messaging should be as secure as possible. We recommended developers adopt “Privacy by Design” and “Design from the Margins”—build for the most vulnerable, and everyone benefits. Clearly, some folks at the top of the chain of command could benefit, too.

“Visa-holders, green-card carriers, and citizens alike will all be targeted for their political beliefs. […]students, advocates, and elected officials must unite to defend the right to protest for Palestine. At stake are not just our voices, but the fundamental civil liberties of all” #MahmoudKhalil

This is completely fucked up. I know everything is fucked up, but THIS is why universities need to stand up and fight, not cave like Columbia did. NOTHING will satisfy them, and all the capitulation just leads to more demands and humiliation.
I’m told this is a real letter. It basically says, “We’ll destroy Columbia unless you destroy it first.”

Today the Harvard International Human Rights Clinic—where I’m currently a Practitioner-in-Residence—hosted a timely talk by Gina Romero, UNSR on peaceful assembly, on her deep and broad-ranging data collection on how universities have curtailed that right for pro-Palestine protestors.
