That site is a neo-fascist, nazi-adjacent, project. It's the same corporation that owns the swedish newspaper Nya Dagbladet, known for being cosy with a neo-nazi group that got a terrorist classification from the Biden administration. https://2021-2025.state.gov/terrorist-designations-of-nordic-resistance-movement-and-three-leaders/ https://2021-2025.state.gov/terrorist-designations-of-nordic... Didn't expect this kind of outlet to show up here.

  There is no separation. Nordic Times is owned and run by the same corporation, Aeon Media Group AB. You'll find that Isac Boman on the board is also the editor of Nya Dagbladet. Why the Ludlow Institute has decided to cooperate with neo-fascists is something you'd have to ask them about, but these people have decades of experience in masquerading as press when they're really not. Here's an example of green party student activists falling for it: https://tidningensyre.se/2022/14-oktober-2022/grona-studenter-pa-pronazistisk-sajt-rutinerna-brast/ https://tidningensyre.se/2022/14-oktober-2022/grona-studente... The contents of the article aren't interesting. You don't invite fascists in because they happen to have a point or act politely occasionally.

    Could also just be similar to the case highlighted in Syre with articles copied from Miljömagasinet, where they published them without permission. https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-about-privacy-sooner https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-...

Thanks for the warning! I find it sad that a whole article can be dismissed due to where it is published. By itself, it is completely fine and blasts already open doors to the HN crowd, but I like its concise wording and how it phrases some points, like the one about GMail. Though it is quite interesting that such a privacy stance on "I have nothing to hide" comes in an allegedly neo-nazi paper, knowing this is the mindset that led so many people to be tracked by nazis. People knowingly went to nazi census. I find it quite ironic. EDIT: verbatim copy of https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-about-privacy-sooner https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-.... @dang perhaps?

  It seems like the article is a verbatim copy from the site that OP posted in the comments (Ludlow something)

    Thanks for finding the original, current link was near the top of a web search. Bizarre that it outranked the original. Could HN mods please replace with this URL? https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-about-privacy-sooner https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-...

    Indeed: https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-about-privacy-sooner https://www.ludlowinstitute.org/articles/what-i-wish-i-knew-... I don't know what this insitute is nor its color however.
