2025 has seen sneaky attempts to break encryption. ORG was there to fight back 🔒
We resisted the UK government's attempt to force a backdoor into Apple encryption. We’ll keep fighting until the dangerous powers that remain on the books are gone.

When the UK government tried to force Apple to give them backdoor access to encrypted products, we stepped in.
We ensured that at least some of the appeal would be heard in public, recognising the huge global implications for secure communication.

It's called Inbox for a reason, I'm working on Encrypted Direct Messages that will interoperate with Pixelfed's upcoming E2EE DMs 😎

Big news for the #Fediverse! End-to-end encryption is coming to #ActivityPub.
@swf with support from @sovtechfund is coordinating two interoperable implementations.
Bonfire is proud to be one of these first two projects, alongside #Emissary by @benpate
We think #E2EE should simply be the default for any private communications, and we’re especially thrilled to bring private, trusted collaboration to the fediverse.
Volevo segnalarvi questa app #FOSS #android chiamata **DekuSMS** che porta finalmente la #E2EE sugli #SMS
Purtroppo nessuno dei miei contatti lo conosce e lo utilizza, quindi non posso dirvi come effettivamente va. Però è una di quelle intuizioni che possono realmente cambiare come pensiamo la nostra quotidianità.

> Pixelfed and Loops could be the first fediverse E2EE software duo. Then we ship Sup and give it to the rest of the fediverse, including compatibility with ongoing E2EE efforts
I was going to share exactly the same link @dnkrupinski just did : ) Would be fantastic to see Dan, @benpate (Emissary/ Bandwagon), Mayel and Ivan ( @bonfire), and @evanprodromou and co (SWF/ SocialCG), all putting your heads together on the best possible E2EE messaging for the fediverse.

🔐 Did CryptPad help you this year?
Millions of documents were written and shared on CryptPad this year, all encrypted on the user’s device.
If every active user gave 5 EUR in December, the project could be funded for all of 2026 without external grants.
If you want to support private, open-source collaboration, you can donate here:
👉 https://opencollective.com/cryptpad
Thank you to everyone who already supports us 💚.

#E2EE must be explicitly protected, and client-side scanning must be excluded entirely. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/after-years-controversy-eus-chat-control-nears-its-final-hurdle-what-know
Encryption isn't hostile. It's a bedrock of our cybersecurity 🔐
The UK's national security laws join a long line of attempts to frame encrypted messaging as something to be broken into pieces.
Without it, we're more open to threats from hackers and criminals.

Privacy shouldn't depend on whether a company "promises" to be good. It should depend on the math.
That’s why I’m a Signal advocate. It’s privacy by design, not by trust.
Even if a government or a billionaire bought Signal tomorrow, they couldn't read your messages. They simply don't have the keys to the "armored truck."
If you’re still using "postcards" (SMS), it’s time to upgrade your digital hygiene.

The piece itself is relatively ok, apart from the SGX thing.
The problem is the clickbaity title suggesting Signal might not be safe.
Most people only read headlines and the first few paragraphs of articles, and so what they might incorrectly take away from this piece is that Signal's safety is somehow suspect.
It's not. Signal is safe.
This is outright *dangerous* at a time when effective, usable privacy and encryption tools are more important than ever – and under attack globally.

#signal lover sikkerhed som de ikke kan holde, specifikt at eens telefonnummer er skjult, selvom det ikke er det.
de indsamler telefonnumre, som de ikke kan holde hemmelige, og at de kun lader een have en enkelt profil per apparat gør at ikke kan hemmeligholde sin aktivistiske profil fra hverdagsbrug.
panserne i danmark har kunnet afsløre identiteterne på mange aktivister ved blot et enkelt konfiskeret apparat.
snart skal jeg i retten delvist på grund af signals sløseri med sikkerheden.
signal tager ikke meldingerne særligt seriøst:
@rysiek
> Signal is safe.
#signal has long had issues with phone number leaks: even when set to hidden, phone numbers can sometimes be revealed. 🔓
this means that adversaries can get the phone numbers from an entire network of #signal users from just one compromised device. 🛂
this puts real people in real danger, but #signal is such a strong brand now that many would rather blame those who get hurt than take a critical look at their favourite chat app. ⚠️
more info, including links to some relevant #github issues:
https://veganism.social/@pelle/115673510840264510
#signal doesn't take the phone number leaks seriously, and it's not clear to me from their replies whether they've fixed it. 🪲
#deltachat / #arcanechat ( #decentralized #securityaudited #e2ee chat app) avoids accidentally revealing phone numbers by not asking for them. also, allowing for multiple profiles makes it harder for adversaries to track people across different chats, as opposed to #signal with its one profile per device policy. 👥
if #deanonymization is a risk for you, then #signal is not safe. 🥸
unfortunately i had to experience this first hand, which is why i consider »signal is safe« unhelpful advice. 😐
