Oxford is full of expertise on technology, rights, cybersecurity and privacy - but the city hasn't had a CryptoParty since 2016…! Therefore, Big Brother Watch and Open Rights Group are collaborating to bring together local campaigners, techies, and members of the public to have a CryptoParty in the hope local activists may continue to spread digital privacy and empowerment through CryptoParties!
Workshops so far will include:
Who Targets Me - Learn how to install and operate the plug in that allows you to see who is targeting you with political ads.
Open Rights Group SARs workshop - Learn how to easily submit Subject Access Requests (SARs) to political parties to see what information they hold on you. (You'll need two forms of ID to properly submit a SAR, including one with a photo).
Make sure to bring a laptop or phone to take full advantage of the workshops.
