Preparing for government surveillance in Trump 2.0

Now is the time to evaluate and get serious about your digital security practices, experts say. President-elect Trump made several promises on the campaign trail to target people in marginalized communities, undermine the press, and seek retribution against his enemies. His administration could use several government surveillance and law enforcement tools to carry out those promises, including subpoenaing user data from major technology companies, purchasing data from third-party brokers, and tapping the intelligence community's own internal programs. Trump's victory has renewed conversations among community organizers, activists, journalists and people in marginalized communities about how to minimize their digital footprints in case they become targets.
