7MS #712: How to Secure Your Community - Part 2

About this episode

This episode discusses community security in Minnesota, focusing on Operation Metro Surge and technical tips for securing communication apps and devices.

Hello friends. Today's episode piggybacks off of last week 's discussion of Operation Metro Surge and how it has affected the state of Minnesota. I also highly encourage you to read this Rolling Stone article which features interviews and first-hand stories of ICE encounters. And for those of you asking for a good org to support here in Minnesota, please support Haven Watch . They give rides/food to people who are detained by ICE and then cut loose – often without their jackets or phones – into the cold of winter with no ride home. Today I pivot more into the technical weeds and offer some tips on: Securing your Signal app config Hardening your iPhone config via lockdown mode
