It's global encryption day!
Encryption is such a critical tool to protect your personal information, but in some places around the world it's under threat.
We need to remind people and especially our governments that we all need strong, encryption without backdoors to stay safe on the internet.
What's your favorite encryption tool? Let us know in the replies!

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.

Amazon’s Ring is partnering with Flock—a network used by ICE, police & feds—in a major privacy red flag 🚨
Cops can now request Ring footage, expanding AI surveillance into our neighborhoods 🎥
Flock tracks vehicles & uses biased AI to ID people ⚠️
Given Ring’s privacy failures, this is deeply alarming 😠

Sometimes it's hard to be a privacy advocate. You can explain how the right to privacy is foundational to democracy and still see people's eyes glaze over. It makes it challenging to provide resources when you're not even sure that anyone wants to engage with them.
Idk, I know it's not entirely their fault, but purely from an advocacy standpoint it makes it hard to know what is worth putting energy into.

Signal selected Google Gmail as their email provider.
Consider asking for a public PGP encryption key if you are concerned about Google accessing the content of your message, this can provide end-to-end encryption of the message content but the metadata will be available to Google.
Signal: Please publish a key on your website.

And just to be clear: None of this is surprising. The people who did this - and we know who they are; they have names & lucrative jobs - were warned & warned again, and just went ahead & did it anyway.
