Long war tactics: or how we learned to stop worrying and love the NSA

Presented at 31C3 (2014), Dec. 28, 2014, 4:45 p.m. (30 minutes)

Referring to the seminal talk Dymaxion gave at the closing of the NoisySquare at OHM in 2013. This talk will explore what has happened and what has not in the mean time on the "battle ground". An overview will be presented on the technical, legal, political and social battles going on and will provide pointers to further tactics. Finally we will look at how to make sure we keep ourselves safe and sane.

In many ways people have tried to rise against the extensive spying and logging of the five eyes and their allies. This talk tries to summarize the actions that have happened in different domains.

From this we will look forward to things that need to be done, effective tactics that we have seen from other domains and how to rewrite the rulebook.

This talk is meant to keep morale up and celebrate some of our victories, while at the same time proposing some tactics for future victories.
