"This building is the future." Check out this amazing coverage of @BU_CDS building on @CBSNews @wbz and the cool animations in the video @BU_Spark @BU_Computing @BUCompSci @kpmbarch @bu_cpo cbsnews.com/boston/news/bost…

What is going on inside Boston University's strange-looking building?

Say it's cool or say it's ugly, Boston University says this building is the future.

It's wonderful to see @BU_CDS's Hub for Civic Tech Impact deliver on its promise to develop technology that advances public interest, straddling the line between privacy and accountability. Great work by @mvaria and his @BUCompSci students @ra1issa and @NicAlhaddad.

Read what @BU_CDS Professor Mayank Varia @mvaria is working on to balance privacy and human rights with online trust and safety: "Is there a way to allow people to send confidential, secure, untraceable messages, but still track any menacing ones?" Yes! bu.edu/articles/2022/traceab…

Can WhatsApp Messages Be Secure and Encrypted—but Traceable at the Same Time?

A new Boston University–developed program called Hecate can make messaging apps more secure and allow moderators to crack down on abuse.
