Upcoming AMA: Tuesday, July 21st (12 PM - 1 PM ET)
“We’re Jason Koebler and Joseph Cox, two of the co-founders of 404 Media, a journalist-owned publication covering technology, surveillance, crime, and the internet.
Jason spent six years as editor-in-chief of Motherboard, where he led editorial and produced award-winning documentaries and reporting on everything from right to repair to ticket scalping.
Joseph is an investigative reporter whose work has triggered hundreds of millions of dollars in fines against major telecoms, shut down data brokers, stopped companies from selling location data tied to abortion clinics, and pushed lawmakers toward new privacy legislation.
We recently reported that Flock, the automatic license plate reader (ALPR) company, exposed some of the license plates cops were searching for and the reasons behind those searches, through DuckDuckGo and Bing.
Ask us anything about:
The Flock leak and what it reveals about ALPR surveillance
How license plate readers are being used by law enforcement
How we approach surveillance and investigative stories
Working with sources and documents
Building and running an independent, reader-funded newsroom
Anything else on tech, privacy, and surveillance
We’ll be here live on Tuesday, July 21st from 12 PM to 1 PM ET answering your questions in real time. Feel free to leave questions in advance, and we’ll get to them when we go live.
Looking forward to your questions.”
