this is frankly really scary. if you’re in a socialist org, please make sure that they’re not so lax with security like this. also, why the actual fuck are they using google products. we are fucking doomed here in the west man. To be clear I think this is probably more on the local chapter of your org than the national org, but even then I really think national orgs need to be giving out a lot more training about this kind of thing, and quite frankly booting out the leadership of local chapters if they’re lax like this.

PSL security culture: I left almost a year ago, their members locally know I don’t like them, but I’m still in some shared folder where I can see sensitive event and recruiting information

I highly recommend to the people joining orgs to take serious steps and ask questions around security. What if this got into the wrong hands? Out of courtesy I’m censoring the names. I have plenty more screenshots of events in case they try to refute this but I recommend they just hold this L quietly

    Somehow I knew this was about PSL even before clicking the spoiler text lol. The fact that you can seemingly only apply to join via Google forms gave me pause, and is the main reason I have not bothered getting involved.

      If your local is anything like mine, they won’t respond to the Google forms application anyway and you’ll just get the newsletter for six months.
