I highlight Bruce Schneier’s analysis of the immediate, reactive security policies following September 11. The report critiques rushed legislative responses, such as increased surveillance and encryption restrictions, which often prioritize security theater over effective safety measures.
I highlight a critique of three websites, including two based in India, that implement remarkably poor security policies. The linked post examines how these platforms fail to prioritize basic digital safety and user data protection.
Classic persuasion tactics like commitment, scarcity, and authority can materially change refusal behavior, showing that LLM compliance is psychologically manipulable.
I found a project where eleven filmmakers created short films about September 11, each exactly 11 minutes, 9 seconds, and one frame long. This anthology captures diverse global reactions through unique cinematic perspectives and strict structural constraints.
I found an interesting Economist article identifying the specific business sectors and industries that saw economic growth or increased demand in the immediate aftermath of the September 11 attacks.
I observe that privacy and free speech are among the first victims of the September 11 attacks. I am highlighting concerns from the EFF regarding new wiretapping legislation and the immediate impact on digital civil liberties.
