It's an open secret that governments surveil activists. They prefer to keep their methods obscured and mystified, but we have a right to know how surveillance really works in practice.

This is a digital security conference, but it's not about fixing mistakes and vulnerabilities to help corporations run more smoothly. We're not here to do cyber police work, we're turning the tables.

Rooted in real threats activists have faced from state repression, CounterSpy is a dedicated space to study surveillance techniques and strategize around privacy, digital security, and organizational opacity for social movements.
