European politicians want to effectively end encryption as we know it to "protect children". That's why we joined forces with @ecosia, @NordVPN, @ProtonPrivacy, @TutaPrivacy, and other members of the digital privacy community to put a stop to this misguided bill. Read the full…

Does Discord delete your data after verifying your age? Probably, and we hope so. Do the vendors they outsource the additional checks and appeals to follow the same philosophy? Not at all. 1/5

📣 Germany is close to reversing its principled opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private —& Signal—in the EU. Time is short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how…

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/germ…

Voorstel om Chat Control te verwerpen in de Kamer ingediend. Strijd tegen kindermisbruik is belangrijk, maar niet ten koste van ons fundamenteel recht op privacy! Vraag tot urgente behandeling van dit voorstel tot massasurveillance werd weggestemd door Arizona 🤯 #ChatControl

I don’t know if what Pavel Durov is saying is true or not, but I do know that I don’t trust anything about Telegram.

The world’s most used encryption was built by a man with a fake name. It protects 5 billion people. And he never monetized it. Here’s how a nonprofit is protecting the internet:

This happened in 2021, by the way. But I'll dunk on ExpressVPN every chance I get. Kape technologies owns ExpressVPN, Zenmate, CyberGhost and Private Internet Access. Oh and don't forget that ExpressVPN is the company that hired a UAE spy as their chief information officer.

Act quickly; you have until November 3, 2025, to let Microsoft know that you don't want your LinkedIn data used for AI training. You're opted in by default... Head to Account - Settings & Privacy > Data privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement & toggle the switch off.

We are about to discover that downsizing your military for wars of choice is no use when war chooses you….

New: UK Defence Sec John Healey has directed the armed forces to look at options to bolster NATO's air defences over Poland. The UK has 300 military personnel there + until 6 weeks ago had 6 Typhoon jets stationed in Poland. One option is returning at least some of those jets.
