I spoke to Cade Diehm, Head of Research at the World Ethical Data Foundation and founder of New Design Congress, an independent research group confronting the gap between what is said to be happening and what is actually happening in digital societies. His career also involves working at Deloitte Australia, as leading design for CoinJar, the largest crypto exchange in Australia and Tactical Tech.
I had him on to talk about his work on Weaponised Design (when an interface or system harms its users whilst performing entirely within its expected behaviour), his recent alarming research on the brittleness of digital identity and his experience with early crypto.

Unlike traditional VPNs, Nym uses a decentralized mixnet to scramble your internet data — hiding who you’re talking to, when, and how often. You can switch between full mixnet mode for maximum anonymity, or a faster VPN mode for everyday use.
