I am a journalist at The New York Times and the author of YOUR FACE BELONGS TO US. I write about the looming tech dystopia and how we can try to avoid it.

I got my start in journalism in 2008, as a writer for the legal blog Above the Law. The next year, while getting my master’s in magazine journalism at NYU, I created my own blog called The Not-So Private Parts. It was supposed be a yearlong project, but I’m still chronicling the fate of privacy in the modern age more than a decade later.

I joined The Times in 2019, after having worked as an investigative reporter at Gizmodo Media Group and as a writer at Forbes Magazine.

I’ve also written for Popular Science about bitcoin and for The New Yorker about poker, a game I love to play.
