With the influx of users there has been an increase in available data for researchers of social media and communication. Much of this work has focused on the everyday end user: someone who is using the platform to share personal information or consume media. However, these platforms have other uses. Corporations seek to mine federated media for their own endeavors, and state agents catalog the information for various<br>uses."</p><p><a href="http://deeplyhacked.com/research/files/blueleaks.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">deeplyhacked.com/research/file</span><span class="invisible">s/blueleaks.pdf</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>surveillance</span></a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a></p>

Milo Trujillo<p>In 2021 I was a co-author on a paper analyzing leaked documents from fusion centers, cross-jurisdictional law enforcement collaborations intended for counter-terrorism. The leaked memos from Maine and Massachusetts suggested that resources intended for national security were instead focused on local property crime, drug crime, and homelessness. Following our report and many others, the Maine house voted to eliminate their fusion center, but was overruled by their state senate.</p><p>Our paper just got its first academic citation, by researchers working on secure cloud computing to prevent data leaks, who reference our work as an example of a &quot;fatal public security threat.&quot; 🙃 </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ddosecrets" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ddosecrets</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/blueleaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>blueleaks</span></a></p>
