"People are often forced to agree to unfair data collection practices just to communicate with their loved ones. Open standards, interoperability and data portability are the technical foundations required to improve this situation."

I journeyed to @DEFCON 29 in an attempt to capture the essence of the #hacker culture & the craft of #hacking. What I found was a warm & welcoming community of tinkerers, inventors, knowledge seekers & teachers - and that we're all hackers on some level.
