Computer Fraud and Abuse Defense Fund is Live

Important launch announcement: the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act Defense Fund is live and seeking donations to help fight against the current absurd internet and communications regulations governing American citizens. The recent trial of United States v. Auernheimer (That’s Andrew Auernheimer, AKA WEEV), demonstrates the silliness of this law. Did you know that if you are reading this post on our website, and we didn’t explicitly give you permission, you are in violation of US law?

Help bring American law into the digital age. Donate today to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Defense Fund (and free Weev!)

Pinkerton Foundation Launches New Website in Order to Better Launch the Futures of NYC Kids

Social Ink is proud to continue our efforts in Community and Education work with the launch of a new website for The Pinkerton Foundation. Established in 1966, the foundation:

supports community-based programs for children, youth and families in economically disadvantaged areas in New York City. Although we consider a wide range of youth development initiatives, Pinkerton favors direct-service programs that have one overriding goal: to help young people reach their full potential.

Most of the programs we support take place in the after-school, weekend or summer hours and focus on providing opportunities for academic development, career readiness and cultural enrichment. We also support a number of programs that offer a way forward for young people after an encounter with the criminal justice system or years in foster care.
