It's October -- the season for ghosts and ghouls!
Halloween is the best time to turn the lights off and watch some horror films. Classic movies tell us all about demons and spirits that stalk in the shadows, ready to take over our bodies and minds and destroy everything we love.
Fortunately, the ghosts in horror movies are imaginary. But there's another, very real, presence we should fear. Unfortunately, our computers and the online platforms we use are haunted by entities that want to know every little thing we do on them.
With that in mind, this issue is about privacy -- why you need it, who's trying to take it and how you can keep yours safe. We also go on a deep dive into encryption, the technology that can keep our data from being read by others.
This edition of Libre! also goes more into how we can speak up for freedom. And if you've been wanting to learn how to program, this issue includes a whole month's worth of mini Python lessons!
As always, I want to hear what you think. You can always contact me by e-mailing carmen@missionlibre.org
Enjoy!
