Subject: [seattleprivacy] Technology Enabled Coercive Control (TECC) Volunteer
     Clinic

Hello all!

I've been working with a volunteer committee that includes a mixture of
city and nonprofit representatives who share the common goal of reducing
technology enabled coercive control (TECC) in Seattle. TECC can be defined
as an abusive situation where technology is being used by the abuser to
enable their abuse of the victim. These cases usually look like domestic
violence cases with a cyber stalking component. For example, an estranged
spouse may lock you out of your gmail account and delete evidence such as
email histories. Victims may be repeatedly hacked by their spouses or
relatives who know their security question answers and backup email
addresses. This account compromise often prevents private communication
between the victim and their legal representation.

The TECC Committee includes Natalie Dolci from the Seattle Police
Department Domestic Violence Unit, Candace Faber from Seattle Information
Technology, the nonprofit New Beginnings and others. I'm the CEO of a
privacy startup and I participate on the committee as a tech volunteer.

We are looking for additional technology volunteers who are willing to
donate their time to the TECC Volunteer Clinic by either 1) helping to
develop curriculum for both the volunteers and the victims or 2) working
one on one with victims to help them reclaim and secure their accounts,
help them set up two factor authentication, etc.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, feel free to reach
out. I've also attached a document with more information about the TECC
Volunteer Clinic.

Best,

Amy
