-Oxford is full of expertise on technology, rights, cybersecurity and privacy - but the city hasn't had a CryptoParty since 2016...! Therefore, [[https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/|Big Brother Watch]] and [[https://www.openrightsgroup.org/|Open Rights Group]] are collaborating to bring together local campaigners, techies, and members of the public to have a CryptoParty in the hope local activists may continue to spread digital privacy and empowerment through CryptoParties!+Oxford is full of expertise on technology, rights, cybersecurity and privacy. After the success of the first event in November, [[https://www.openrightsgroup.org/|Open Rights Group]] (with help from [[https://bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/|Big Brother Watch]]) are running a second event. We are going to bring together local campaigners, techies, and members of the public to have a CryptoParty in the hope local activists may continue to spread digital privacy and empowerment through CryptoParties!
