Hi,
We are a nonprofit that will host an online, virtual Network+ cert course. This will occur over several months and we have the lessons already to go using a popular online platform. We would like an instructor to host a 1 hr. monthly session each month for 4 months to help the students navigate and summarize what they should be focusing on as they progress, or they may have questions about the content as they navigate thru the online course. This is a REMOTE learning format. Zoom/Google Meet links will be provided.
If interested please email: [email protected]

There is no doubt Cambridge Analytica was a huge scandal. The courts should've leveraged much stiffer penalties in that case.

But a hostile nation harvesting data on US citizens is much worse.

One of the things I've often said and something that I prefer to say in Latin:

- Si non est timor legis, non est lex. (without fear of the law, there is no law)

I think when organizations abuse the law or they think they can just 'pay the fine' if it goes south, it doesn't act as much of a deterrent.

Today, two developments occurred.

1) China made its first overture to say that ByteDance could sell TikTok. My suspicious nature tells me that they've gotten what they've wanted to this point - and if they don't make some sort of play, TikTok will just die on the vine. Interestingly, President Trump made the point about how China makes lots of products, but we're zero'ed in on TikTok.

While I can see this point, there's also that idea of Trusted Foundation and the like that steer me away from HikVision/Dahua/Lorex security products as well as never even going anywhere near Huawei.

I probably need to line the inside of my fedora with aluminum foil.

2) President Trump made the point that the US should be a 50% investor with ByteDance for TikTok, or no deal and TikTok basically loses all value. This is an interesting proposition, but it doesn't answer the big fat hairy question of what happens to all that phat data that ByteDance collected on behalf of the CCP, already.

I'm quite sure they're not going to just delete everything in a GDPR kinda way. In fact, it's my opinion that ByteDance isn't even really following GDPR - after all, who's going to check and actually say for sure?

Thank you. I share the same sentiments.

If someone got a question, the community is here to support but please try to at least Google it out, or in today's time, use an AI tool if needed be.

Anyway, I'm just glad to see this thread @Rick Butler
Just in time for me to know that there's a TTT for Pentest+ coming up!

Hello CIN:

So, given that we have taken on some new CIN members this week for Partner Summit as well as over the last month, this post is ONLY for posters that have less than 20 posts total. Anyone can like, but for this thread, I'm asking only new members to post. Let's see who comes up!

Suggested Reply Ideas

1) Who are you, for whom do you teach/work?

2) What is your current certification that you're working?

3) What kind of success stories do you have from where you're working?

In short, this is a "getting to know you" post. But as I said, it's only for the newbies in CIN - to get them posting.

Let's hear it!

What?!?! Feedback? Who wants feedback?

Actually, I think the product team would appreciate feedback. We actually have a forum for products; it is the CompTIA CertMaster Solutions forum, about the course products. This is a good venue to ask questions and post comments. The team will respond with answers and pass along the feedback.

I have been talking with the new product team about soliciting feedback from CINners and I think we will be seeing more requests in the future. Stay tuned!

Stephen Schneiter · Jan 21, 2025

Hello @rleyba3 and welcome to CIN! One great place to start is by replying to this discussion threat started by @Rick Butler for new members to introduce themselves! https://cin.comptia.org/threads/newbie-roll-call-20-total-posts-only-reply.1856/

Other than that, look around the discussions and jump in with any thoughts. Feel free to create some posts with topics you would like to discuss or ask questions. We will post updates for upcoming webinars or events so be sure to be on the lookout for them as well. You can also view previous webinars on-demand listed in the Resources area.

Again welcome! We look forward to you participating in the community!

Stephen Schneiter · Jan 21, 2025

Hello Everyone! I agree with the comments that have been made. This community is for instructors to network, share ideas, ask questions, and, yes, even talk about your favorite sports team or complain about the weather. This is a global community, and we have seen a lot of friendships and connections made in it. One of our popular forums continues to be the job board, and I am excited that folks are able to use it and find opportunities!

Lately, there has been some misuse of the forums, and I would like to remind everyone to take a minute and revisit the Community Guidelines. This community is for everyone and I encourage everyone to participate.

As @Rick Butler mentioned, there have been a lot of changes with CompTIA lately, and I am thrilled to see that CompTIA sees the value of our community! Thanks to all of you for staying active! As I mentioned in a previous post, we will have a lot of exciting changes coming to the community as we move further into 2025. We will have more resources available and more opportunities for connections and engagement.

Let's keep our community strong, and growing! I look forward to everyone's participation in 2025!

Looking back at the Cambridge Analytical scandal to issues with data privacy and the 'right-to-be-forgetten' statues. How can one delineate between a hostile or non-hostile party, in either a government-back, private enterprise or public endeavor?
This is not to say one is worse than the other. But discussion about one's 'privacy' online should be in the forefront.

To go back to the original post, when there is a roadblock, they will find a way around it. @Rick Butler sums it up, "The biggest challenge - getting students to put their phones up and stop binge-watching videos when we're trying to teach a class.... *grumble grumble*".

The fewer posts and the higher the quality, the easier it will be to follow, but it will also be more enjoyable to respond to and interact with. Furthermore, I prefer to see few posts with many interactions (with quality) than just the opposite. &;-D

Gregory Childers · Jan 20, 2025

I have spoken with @Rick Butler and several others about this very topic. There have been quite a few low-quality posts ranging from people posting random topics just to ask which exams covered them in their exam objectives to posting a list of quiz questions and then answering them. We don't need countless threads about waiting on vouchers. One poster in particular became unprofessional and abusive and was removed from the CIN boards.

We are all CompTIA instructors. We're not young adults in college learning about tech for the very first time. We understand technical topics like subnetting, zero trust, AI/ML virtualization, etc. We don't need to be lectured to like we just started on our technical path. If you want to know if a topic is covered on a CompTIA exam, go to the CompTIA website and download the exam objectives. Google it if you have to. As instructors, our jobs are not to give people the answers. Our job is to show them how to find the answers on their own. And if we don't know something, we should be able to find the answers on our own.

I post on this board to hear insight from my fellow technical instructors. I expect a higher level of dialog than I would find on Reddit (don't even get me started on that site). We should be talking about topics that are relevant to our community. We should be raising discourse, not lowering it.

Legitimate cybersecurity concerns are pervasive with all social media platforms. To call out one and not the others is pandering. The entire system should be viewed as Legitimate cybersecurity concerns, rather than whom owns the platform.

It's one thing if an American company is aggressively harvesting data to market to the customers.

It's another if a hostile foreign government is harvesting PII on American citizens.
