Final Straw: Surveillance Self Defense, Encrypted Chat Apps and Securing Devices with Thorin Klosowski

Long running anarchist radio show and podcast The Final Straw presents an interview with Thorin Klosowski from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

This week, a conversation with Thorin Klosowski of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) about some basic tools and ideas for keeping our information a little safer online and the Surveillance Self-Defense site, ssd.eff.org. We discuss device encryption, tor-browser, VPNs, encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram as well as password vaults. I’m hoping this will be the first of a few interviews to try to make digital security concepts a little more accessible.
