[Announce] June 12th 2019 - MUG Meeting

[craig at decafbad.net]

We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month at the
Farmington Community Library.

 Topics Include:

 Anonymous Browsing

 Have you ever wondered what it takes to be anonymous online? Tools
like Tor and the Tails Linux Distribution are focused on that concept.
But privacy and anonymity online is all about balance. Tools like Tor
might be too much work for some people, but there are simple ways to
"clean up" your digital footprint. Or, if you prefer to put on a
dashing tin foil hat, there are ways to dive deep into the tools and
practices required to keep your true Identity as safe as possible.
Anonymity is important for many different folks: journalists,
informants, security enthusiasts and even someone accessing their bank
account. This talk will discuss the various tools useful for anonymous
browsing. We'll explore what a digital footprint is, and how even
something as simple as a connecting to your bank could leak
information to governments, advertisers, hackers, and large technology
companies such as Google or Facebook.

 Plus we'll have our regular features: Jobs Looking for People, People
Looking for Jobs, and much more! We'll also be meeting for dinner at
the Buddy's Pizza in Novi (44225 W 12 Mile Road, Novi, MI 48377) after
the meeting.
