While we grow to rely on the web for our work, education, and our social life, we also become more reliant on these companies. What makes them the most hated companies in the US?

If any of these questions resonate with you, then join the CyPurr Collective at the Info Commons Lab of the Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch as we go over the structure of the net and how to defend your privacy.

-CryptoParties are free and open for everyone, but especially those without prior knowledge, who haven't yet attended one.
