Fake privacy gadgets, from Anonabox to Sever: Fighting a strange and profitable epidemic
Digital privacy and security took center stage in 2013, when we learned the extent of government surveillance on citizens under the Patriot Act. This paved the way for the success of privacy and security focused gadgets such as Blackphone, which received $30 million in investment before a prototype was even made.Combined with increasing public concern about hacking and security, a never-ending wave of too-good-to-be-true privacy gadgets have been raking in the dough through crowdfunding websites such as Indiegogo and Kickstarter.None in the wave of magic gadgets has yet to deliver a single working product — and funders are getting restless.
