• 2015: “Consequences of massive data breaches and what to do about it”
• 2015: “Apps, the end of the open web”
• 2015: “Microsoft’s new small print in Windows 10 wants your data”
• 2015: “Hacking Team breach shows a global spying firm run amok”
• 2016: “The Redpillers”
• 2016: “China’s scary lesson to the world: Censoring the Internet works”
• 2017: “The Next Bit Blue-Collar Job Is Coding” (now we add AI to the headline)
• 2017: “What Is a ‘Supply Chain Attack?’”
• 2018: “Platforms Are Not Publishers” (they just want your data to train AI models now)
• 2019: “Human Contact Is Now a Luxury Good” (before The Pandemic)
• 2020: “Snowden: Without encryption, we will lose all privacy. This is our new battleground”
