  • To those who are still at La Quadrature du Net

    So, it’s official. I’ve quit my job at La Quadrature du Net. It was not an easy decision, and it hurts. I’m too stubborn for my own good, and I do not know when to stop, but this is where it must ends. I also tend to believe people when they say things will change,…

  • Taking them down

    How to take the identity capitalism complex down I’m currently at RightsCon in Tunis, speaking and exchanging with a lot of different actors around tech and human rights issues, from state to civil society to Facebook (because it seems shame is dead). And I talk to a lot of people (except Facebook ones, they’re scary…

  • End of Transmission

    I have to write this down. Now. I have to do this. Now. Why ? Because I’m experiencing some clarity right now, and it will not last. It might looks like a hasty decision, but it is something I’ve been torturing myself with for months now. I quit twittering. Or micro bloging. I’m going to…

  • Security and Safety

    There’s something on my mind that’s been going on for a while. Well, another something going on in y mind. And it’s about security and/or safety and how those concepts are used today. Or how they’ve been twisted. So, let’s start with what I mean by those terms. They’re often used as synonym for each…

  • [Repost] Google, Amesys – même combat

    So, I’ve changed things around here and I’m trying to get some writing done soon. In the meantime, I’ll repost here an oped I wrote at la quadrature du net (From which I’m currently off due to mental health issue, more on that later), so here the original text, in French and, of course, there’s…

  • And Justice for all

    Trigger Warnings: Rape, Paedophilia Prison song I’m not really elaborate on the fact that the current prison system (either in the US, or – basically – everywhere else) is broken and walk on its head. If you want to contemplate the disaster, you can watch Prison Valley, get facts from OIP or read testimony made…

  • Redefining privacy

    Let’s redefine Privacy, shall we? There’s a lot of issue with Privacy. I already wrote about it some time ago, but I think that in fact the current definition of Privacy is an issue. For starters, no one is able to provide me with a definition of privacy. Is Privacy a secret? The definition I…

  • PJL Renseignement … stop fleeing!

    PJLRenseignement If you haven’t heard, there’s an emergency law currently “debated” in France, which wants to legalize illegal practices from the Intelligence services (both domestic – DGSI – and foreign – DGSE) and gives them impunity, circumvent the judge, and goes to a massive discriminatory surveillance. The hashtag is full of report of people opposing…

  • The NSA and the hypocrisis

    Context Finally, the French governement is going to react to the NSA mass spying. Just after the first article published by Le Monde (there might be a paywall). Technically, it’s nothing really new since we’ve read the same for Mexico, England and Germany those last days – use your search-engine fu to find related articles.…

  • Bring Moar Fire!!!!

    TL;DR Oh,well. Fuck you, you should read and stop being a lazy asshole. Acknowledgement I am privileged. Whatever I can say about the state of the world, I’mborn in the best side of it. I can express myself without risking getting beaten up and torture. I can go in the street to buy my food…
