In this podcast Patrick Gray and Tom Uren talk about Citizen Lab’s analysis of WeChat’s behaviour and its privacy policy. That report misses the point: WeChat is an integral part of the PRC’s architecture of censorship and repression, and the Chinese government isn’t constrained by WeChat’s privacy policy.

They also discuss a new report that proposes a human-centred framework for assessing client-side Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) detection technologies. It’s a step forward because it makes clearer the tradeoffs that are being made when these technologies are suggested.

In this podcast Patrick Gray and Tom Uren talk about the regular extradition battles that occur between the US and Russia whenever a Russian cybercriminal is arrested in a third country. It’s less about protecting cybercriminals and more about Russia trying to poke the USA in the eye.

They also discuss recent Ukrainian hacktivist operations that have been extremely successful, but also don’t seem to have had any really meaningful impact.
