via Lucas Garron, writing at GitHub's blog, of outstanding security news at the eponymous version control site: GitHub now fully supports WebAuthn (Web Authentication) for security keys.

Who’s Watching The Criminal Enterprise Known As Facebook Watch You?
via Bhaskar Chakravorti, PhD - the Dean of Global Business, The Fletcher School at Tufts University, comes this thought provoking piece targeting Facebook Inc.'s (NASDAQ: FB) new 'Privacy Cop'. Certainly, today's Must Read.
