Online privacy concerns (and what we can do about it)Phil Cryer
User's online privacy is constantly in a state of flux. Witness Google's consolidation of their privacy polices, ever changing Facebook rules or how commerce determines how sites handle user data, and then note the lack of any opt-out for the user when these changes occur. Online entities make these changes not for the benefit of the user, but for the benefit of the shareholders, obviously, but if they can do this now, they can do it later. Simply put, a privacy policy today can change tomorrow; and user's privacy can be thrown by the wayside. Knowing this should signal an alarm for everyone to understand HOW their data is being stored and used online. We'll look at recent developments that have caused concern among privacy advocates, poke fun at some of the silly ways these new measures are sold to the populace and then cover what can be done to increase users' privacy online utilizing common sense and open source software. (Presented at the St. Louis Linux User's Group, June 20, 2013)
What if Petraeus was a hacker? Email privacy for the rest of usPhil Cryer
Almost every day there are new revelations about violations of user's online privacy. Usually these infractions are for the monetary gain of an online entity, but at other times it can be part of censorship, a surveillance state or even a government breaking the law when accessing such data. With email being so personal, webmail (which is generally hosted free of charge by for-profit providers) is a particularly vulnerable space where people are not doing enough to protect online privacy. When a highly decorated four-star general is brought down because he couldn't secure his online webmail, what hope do we have in terms of guaranteeing our own online privacy? The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 states that after 6 months, email messages lose their status as protected communication and no longer requires a warrant, only a subpoena, for a government agency to force email providers to produce copies of user's data. Online privacy is a right we have taken too lightly. Attendees of this talk will learn real world techniques that will enable them to make educated decisions about how to properly protect their webmail. Generally, you have little email privacy with US-based email services, so we will focus on offshore hosting where laws better regulate your data protection and online privacy. A survey of current options, with details from the speaker's own trials of multiple solutions, will provide a framework for you to replicate, allowing you the online email privacy everyone deserves.

How to Catch Someone Who Is Cheating OnlinePaul Bossky
If you want to catch someone you suspect is cheating online, start by observing their behavior. Ask yourself if they seem distant or angry with you for no reason. If they do, ask them what is going on in a concerned, but not accusatory, way. For example, you could say "You've seemed really distant lately. Is everything okay?" Your partner may confess to cheating or explain why they have been upset. If this doesn't reveal anything, check their browsing history and texts to see if there is anything suspicious. To learn how to talk to approach your partner once you have confirmed they have cheated, keep reading.
Social networking tools are used by advertisers and marketers, by human resources departments, and of course by job-seekers and employees.
For many companies, the question now is not whether to use social media in its business, but how.
And as with any new aspect of doing business, there are several potential pitfalls that a company must be aware of to avoid running into legal difficulties.
Social Media is becoming commonplace in our society, both at work and at home. It's responsible for a major paradigm shift in how we communicate with each other. This presentation addresses that shift and discusses how our privacy is being eroded as a result and what you can do about it.

Socialize Conference Toronto 2012 - FaceBook Marketing: Adler Law Group
The use of social media for marketing and advertising purposes is one of the fastest growing areas for business and marketers. The advent of social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and others provides the opportunity for authentic interaction and engagement with customers. But with every technological development and opportunity, new legal and business risks present themselves. Understanding and minimizing these risks will help you maximize the opportunities.
A best practices approach to social media marketing involves having the company's philosophy, methodology, and guidelines captured in a comprehensive written policy that is clearly and regularly communicated to the employees, and regularly updated to keep abreast of new developments, opportunities and evolving legal guidance.

Online Social Networks: 5 threats and 5 ways to use them safelyTom Eston
I spent the last few months doing research on various social networks specifically MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn. Many of us either use these sites or know others that do. Users of these sites have been increasing at a dramatic rate for several years. For example, MySpace was the most visited website in the US with more than 114 million global visitors in 2007, and Facebook increased its global unique visitor numbers by 270% last year alone. With this massive increase in social network usage, online social networking is now becoming the fastest growing area of privacy concerns and security threats.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
