“Columbia Wi-Fi & services are being surveilled in a McCarthyite program to provide evidence for the House committee investigation”
Students for Justice in Palestine at Columbia U. Panics Over House Investigation Into Campus AntisemitismA pro-Palestinian group at Columbia University warned students to be cautious about what they do online in the face of a Congressional investigation into the Ivy League over anti-Semitism.
The SJP announcement comes after the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, led by Rep. Virginia Foxx , began investigating Columbia this February over its alleged “environment of pervasive antisemitism,” as In its Instagram post, SJP advised students to “download a VPN on your ,” “enable a hotspot that is connected to your personal cell phone data,” “disable WiFi connection to Columbia WiFi unless absolutely necessary,” “use Signal at all times for sensitive messages,” and “use Cryptpad for all sensitive document sharing,” among other measures.
The group also warned students not to “open anything you wouldn’t want an administrator to see while on the Columbia WiFi or while using a Columbia service,” “send anything sensitive over iMessage or WiFi based messaging app, except Signal,” or “post anything on Sidechat that you wouldn’t want law enforcement to see.”
SJP concluded: “To be clear, this is an egregious infringement on student privacy with the goal of suppressing pro-Palestine advocacy. Every student has a right to privacy and a right to be informed when your right to privacy is being violated. We keep us safe.”WE NEED LOCAL LEGAL COUNSEL IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO - The Equal Protection Project needs local legal counsel in the Northern District of Ohio for an Amicus Brief we intend on filing in a case there.
