Data Security for DSA Members
Ack! I googled myself and didn't like what I found!
WHAT: A DSA Webinar about "Doxing"
WHEN: 9PM EST, 6PM PST
We're proud of our organizing, and chapter work is transparent for both political and practical reasons. However, there are basic precautions you can take in this time of rapid DSA growth to protect your privacy.
Key Wiki is a website that meticulously documents DSA activity and posts it for the world to see. If you're an active DSA member, likely your name is on their website. This is an example of "doxing".
As DSA becomes larger, more visible, and more powerful, we might expect that more websites like this will pop up, and more of our members' information might be posted publicly on the web.
Join a live webinar on Tuesday, June 27 with data security expert Alison Macrina, to learn:
- what is doxing? with examples and ways to prevent it
- how to keep your passwords strong and your data secure
- where to find your personal info on the internet and how to get it removed
- social media best practices for DSA organizers
- what to do if you've already been doxed
