Taking back our data

Zines never died. They just retreated into the background and some of them went digital. Kelly Baker has created a zine called Taking Back Our Data, based on a conversation with René Pérez. She describes the zine like this:

What are proactive measures we can all take to protect ourselves and our data? I am not interested in spreading fear or stoking anxiety. I would instead offer this as an invitation for all of us to become better informed digital citizens.
You may, like me, initially feel overwhelmed and not know where to start. But I believe we don’t have to let perfection be the enemy of good when it comes to digital security. Here’s how.

You can find the zine online by clicking here. The zine comes with the nifty ability to let you scroll through it right onscreen. You can also download and print a paper version, and there are folding instructions for this.

The zine, whose full title is Taking Back Our Data: Digital Security for Artists & Activists constitutes the 6th action in the USDAC’s Vital Conversations series. You can catch up with previous episodes by clicking here.
