The Nexus of Privacy welcomes and honors the voices of all people, particularly those usually marginalized in our society. We are dedicated to providing a positive, inclusive, and harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, age, race, ethnicity, socio-economic class, family structure, or religion.

These community guidelines apply to all The Nexus Today spaces, both online and off.

We do not tolerate harassment in any form. See the anti-harassment policy below for more details.
Respect others:
- Avoid name calling, demeaning descriptions, ad hominem attacks or veiled put-downs.
- Give everybody a chance to speak, and don’t interrupt unless it’s urgent.
- Use appropriate pronouns; if you are not sure, avoid using any pronouns (for example by using their names instead).
Respect others’ privacy. Do not share personal information about others without their permission.
Racism, ableism (including mental health shaming and stigmatization), sexism, microaggressions, gaslighting, trolling, bullying, personal attacks, and other abusive behaviors are prohibited.

If you observe anyone in the group behaving inappropriately, please contact this account or report conduct to code-of-conduct@thenexus.today immediately.

The Nexus Of Privacy looks at the connections between technology, policy, strategy, and justice. The newsletter (available at thenexusofprivacy.net) combines frequent news roundups with more detailed analysis. This Dreamwidth community is for discussions, sharing links, and who knows what else!

We're also active on Twitter, including live-tweeting events as well as summaries of newsletters, and have just started an account on mastodon.social. Dreamwidth is more old-school but it also has some big advantages: outstanding accessibility support; good moderation controls; leadership that really understands the importance of privacy, diversity, and online safety; and a long track record of being run ethically. It's a good complement to other social media -- and fits in well with our values. So let's give it a try!

As well as sharing summaries and links to newsletter posts (similar to the threads I've been doing on Twitter), I'll also use this site for polls, gathering links, and other discussions. If you've got ideas about what you want to see here, please leave a comment.
