I’ve recently joined WatchDog Media. I’ll be writing Opinion pieces and policy briefs over there. I’ll make sure to mirror them on here for viewers of my blog to read as well. For my first opinion piece, I’ll just link it here. I have a long overdue post coming out sometime in the next several days and a big one I plan to do on general OPSEC after that.
