Those protections required Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to get permission from their users before selling user data to third parties. Now, ISPs will be able to sell our Internet browsing histories and other data to the highest bidder.</p> <p>But wait… You don't have to give them all of your data!</p> <p>You can instead use Tor, also known as The Onion Router, to encrypt your search requests and browsing activity and route your Internet traffic through a distributed network of relays (run by volunteers around the world) in order to protect your privacy. Tor prevents anyone watching your Internet connection from seeing your location or which websites you visit. It can also help you to access blocked sites.</p> <p>Alison Macrina, from the Library Freedom Project will be talking to both groups, Seattle TA3M and us, via teleconference. She'll explain how Tor works, how you can set it up, and how you can help Tor to make the network more secure for all users.</p> <p>We'll have snacks, and there will be an opportunity for networking following the talk. We hope to see you there!</p> <p>Speaker bio:</p> <p>Alison Macrina is a librarian, internet activist, the founder and director of the Library Freedom Project, and a core contributor to The Tor Project. Alison is passionate about connecting surveillance issues to larger global struggles for justice, demystifying privacy and security technologies for ordinary users, and resisting an internet controlled by a handful of intelligence agencies and giant multinational corporations.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/events/240455034/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
