Here are our updates for the week of July 15-19: 



*** Palantir’s Top-Secret User Manual ***

Through a recent public records request, Motherboard has obtained a
Palantir user manual for law enforcement, and it gives unprecedented
insight into how the company logs and tracks individuals through its
Gotham service. Notably, the guide illustrates the staggering
capabilities it has where, with almost no information about an
individual, a user can instantly find intimate details about a person.

*** OKThanks Looking for User Input ***

If  you have 20 minutes to spare, OKThanks wants to hear from you! They
are conducting research on why people trust apps. Specifically, they are
looking for people  in the Philippines, Indonesia, Iran, China,
Nicaragua & Ethiopia. If you are interested, please reach out to them at

*** Digisec Toolkit Documentary Filmmakers Launched ***

Safe + Secure has been launched as a result of increased awareness about
the risks to which documentary filmmakers expose themselves - and their
crews, subjects and sources - in order to bring important stories to the
world.
