GrapheneOS is leaving France due to government pressure for encryption backdoors 🇫🇷

The move highlights risks to end-to-end encryption and user privacy when authorities demand access to secure data 🔒
Open-source privacy projects may face similar pressures globally 🌐

#AI is Infringing on Your #CivilRights. Here’s How We Can Stop That

Searching for an apartment online, applying for a loan, going through airport #security, or looking up a question on a search engine – you might not think anything of these exchanges other than that they are mundane things you do, but, in many of these instances, you’re actually interacting with #ArtificialIntelligence (AI).

Avoiding AI in our quotidian activities feels impossible nowadays

@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.

They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.

This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.

The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen. Show up for them in whatever way you're able to.

Die USA sagen in ihrer neuen außenpolitischen Strategie der EU in ähnlicher Sprache den Kampf an wie Putins Russland. Doch noch immer schlafwandeln die europäischen Lenker, statt schnell und entschieden zu handeln.

Avevamo ragione, come sempre, nel comunicare che fino ad Aprile 2026 il chat control sarebbe tornato a massacrarci l'esistenza! A molti di voi potrebbe non interessare ma consegnare i nostri dati a Big Tech, far indebolire la cifratura dei certificati ssl e stravolgere le regole per un controllo di massa anche no!
