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.

@Em0nM4stodon Yes, great time to get off legacy unencrypted calls and SMS texts, especially after the #SaltTyphoon, incident, and get on a data plan to use with #e2ee apps/protocols like #Signal, #Matrix, #XMPP, #DeltaChat, #SimpleX, #Briar, etc.
A phone number is now your surveillance #citizenID number now, so do not share it even with others as they will only upload it to their Big tech address books.
Also, threat actors don't need QuantumComputing to to break e2ee when they can get it from you copilot or other #clientsidescanning AI they are putting to protect the children, of course.
In general, e2ee on proprietary, closed source operating systems like Microsoft Windows and Google Android sort of misses the point.
Thanks for reading my rant, and please feel free to suggest improvements :)
