Today October 21st is Global Encryption Day! 🔒🎉This is a good time to remember that encryption is essential to online security and digital privacy. Despite some governments pushing hard to weaken it, we must remind them that we all need encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, to stay safe online 💚Privacy is a human right and end-to-end encryption is one of the best tool we have to enforce that right. https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/04/11/encryption-is-not-a-crime/#GlobalEncryptionDay #Encryption #E2EE #Privacy #RootForE2EE

I want tech that helps humans. Not tech that exploits humans. #Tech

Trust is always revocable. If you liked a product or piece of software, and it becomes worse, changes the conditions, adds spying functions, you can change your mind and stop trusting and using it. You should always re-adjust your judgment when receiving new information. This is applicable to products, platforms, companies, political parties, and people. #Tech #Trust #Consent

If you want to be part of The Resistance, it will cost you your smart speaker, your Ring doorbell, your smart glasses, and your AI assistants.Mass surveillance is incompatible with revolution. Get rid of it.#BeTheResistance #Privacy #MassSurveillance

@rysiek @TrillionB @Em0nM4stodon so in our view (hi! this is our field), focusing on this aspect ignores the harm that happens at the moment of enforcement, regardless of where the data goes aftergovernments do not get to decide which people are eligible to engage in speech. we all already know where that goes, let's not fool ourselves

@Em0nM4stodon I watched Andor 2 all the way through, btw. I didn't know about the boycott until afterwards. 🫤 It was great TV.

Even if Germany opposes Chat Control on October 14th, this is still only a blocking minority. If your country is still undecided or is supporting Chat Control, keep the pressure on! 💪🇪🇺👉 Use this tool to contact your MEPs: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/📰 Contact your local media🗣️ Keep talking about it on social media!Let's change this blocking minority into a blocking majority! ✊🔒#ChatControl #Privacy #EUpol #HumanRights #Democracy

Fighting for privacy rights is fighting against fascism. In case there were any doubts that mass surveillance is a fascist's tool. Privacy isn't some secondary luxury, it's fundamental to democracy and civil liberties. #Privacy #Democracy #Fascism

@Em0nM4stodon also - with change (and the effort to make that change) comes growth, and progress. It is a lot more valuable to make a change - when one is warranted - than to stick to existing ways.

If you let AI feed you all the answers, then you are letting whomever control this AI decides of everything you learn (or never learn).That people somehow still trust these tools, and what this means for the future of democracy, frightens me to my core. #NoAI #Democracy #NoToOligarchy

@talksina @Em0nM4stodon @_elena @letsenvision This is one acceptable use case for glasses with cameras.But only if they don't record, just enough frames on memory to process on the fly. And no face recognition to search for information on the internet.As far as I understand, this is not what we are talking about here.

@em0nm4stodon@infosec.exchange mm, I mean yes, I agree with that, though I don't agree with giving organizations a carte blanche simply because they're public services. I heard (on the CBC) that Canada Post is hemorrhaging $10M a day. That's cause for some concern ... https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6917208

I know there's a general "cause fatigue" with the current state of the world, and I feel it too. But in my years working in privacy, I don't think I've seen anything as terrifying as this European Chat Control proposal. And I'm not even European.Everyone needs to pay much more attention and be much more worried and outraged about this. This proposal is the most dystopian glimpse into a horrible authoritarian future I have seen so far in the West.It looks dismal, but we can still stop it if we all work TOGETHER NOW ✊There isn't much time left though, so don't put it to next week. Democracy dies in silence.

Good news! Your action worked! 🎉Germany will be OPPOSING the Chat Control proposition! This (for now) secures a blocking minority to stop this horrifying proposal for mass surveillance. But keep the pressure on! ✊🇪🇺The final vote will be on October 14th and many things could change until then. Keep contacting your representatives to tell them to oppose (or keep opposing) Chat Control, as soon as you can. The blocking vote should be as large as possible to ensure this Orwellian nightmare never becomes reality. Let's change this blocking minority into a blocking majority! We can do it! 💚#ChatControl #HumanRights #EUpolhttps://digitalcourage.social/@echo_pbreyer/115184350819592476
