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.

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.

@mullvadnet just ran a commercial about Chat Control during "Uppesittarkvällen" in front of a huge chunk of Sweden's population.

Spending ad money to warn people about mass surveillance instead of selling VPN subscriptions. This is why I trust you.

Chat Control needs to be stopped. More companies should follow your lead.
Thanks for doing this.

Why #privacy matter

This is what civil society, in particular the #DigitalRights community, is up against now: 🇺🇸 has barred leaders of @hateaid, the Global #Disinformation Index, and the Centre for Countering Digital Hate from entering the US

Expect more restrictions, threats, and intimidation against public-interest NGOs globally

🇬🇧 UK & 🇦🇺 Australia have the worst anti-encryption laws among democratic countries.
🇨🇦 Canada risks joining them with Bill C-2.
🇺🇸 US still relies on secret orders under FISA & CLOUD Act.
🇨🇭 Switzerland is no longer the privacy paradise it was claimed to be.

#Encryption is under attack worldwide. Our new global overview shows why Europe remains the best place for encrypted services.

1/6📍 #ChatControl: Yesterday, EU lawmakers entered the final stage of negotiations ('trilogues') on the controversial #CSARegulation, aka Chat Control.

📣 EDRi has been advocating for years to make sure that this law tackles the severe crime of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online without resorting to #MassSurveillance, breaking #encryption or compelling people to undergo intrusive age checks, all of which would have harmful consequences for people and communities.

Huge Victory: #ChatControl no longer forces us to break #encryption. 🎉 

🚨But: It now wants #AgeVerification.

The Trilogue starts today 🗓️

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.

Ahead of today's first #CSARegulation trilogue, @ClaudiaCanelles stresses: "EU Member States have made it very clear: the #CSAM Regulation can only move forward if it protects #minors while maintaining #privacy and #encryption." ⚖️

After Years of Controversy, the EU’s #Chat Control Nears Its Final Hurdle: What to Know

After a long battle, the EC’s “Chat Control” plan, which would mandate mass scanning & other #encryption -breaking measures, at last codifies agreement on a position within the Council of the EU, representing #EU States. The good news is that the most controversial part, the forced requirement to scan #encrypted messages, is out. The bad news is there’s more to it than that
