‘Absurd’

When you have the press and civil society camped outside the courtroom, the secret might be out

Even so, we’re still denied the reasons why the UK government wants to take a battering ram to our security and privacy.

It shows contempt for the public interest in the Apple encryption case.

"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"

The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.

The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.

Other services will be hit.

And thank you for fighting against this with us. This is a great win for privacy, yet, the battle is not over. Together we are strong!

Whisper it, the showdown over Apple encryption is THIS WEEK

A secret tribunal will hear the appeal against the UK government’s order to carve a backdoor into Apple’s encrypted services.

Our cybersecurity and privacy shouldn’t be decided in the shadows.

Time is Running Out to Save Encryption

Ofcom is consulting on implementing message scanning powers in the UK Online Safety Act.

This would break end-to-end encryption on the messaging apps we all use!

CLOSES Monday 10 March, 5pm.

Use our tool to tell Ofcom #PracticeSafeText

ACT NOW

Finally got this update from @Tutanota, now to just get my business email moved over to Tuta.*

* the post quantum encryption isn’t the reason for switching my business, I’ve just not had time to sit down and make the switch/transfer (I’m a one man band).

Thank you, much obliged @Tutanota

If Privacy is outlawed...

Apple is taking the unprecedented step of removing its highest-level data security tool from customers in the UK after the government demanded access to user data.

So from now on, data is accessible by Apple and shareable with law enforcement, if they have a warrant.

New Privacy Guides article
by me:

What happened in the UK this week is terrible news and a loud warning alarm for the rest of the world.

Governments around the world have been increasingly putting pressure on tech companies to break end-to-end encryption and install mass surveillance systems.

We must push back against this.

Encryption is not a crime.
Encryption keeps us safe

France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.

**Privacy Alert: The New French Surveillance Law**

The proposed law not only targets drug trafficking but also poses a significant threat to the very foundation of our digital privacy. By mandating "backdoors" in encrypted messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp, this legislation compromises the security of all users. This sets a dangerous precedent that could lead to widespread surveillance and abuse.

**Why It Matters**: Encryption is essential for safeguarding our personal communications from prying eyes, including those of malicious actors. If the government can access our messages, so can hackers.

**Take Action**: Join the fight against this invasive law! If you are a French national or resident, contact your representatives and demand they prioritize our digital rights. For more information, including how to find and contact your local representative, visit the French article: [La Quadrature du Net](https://www.laquadrature.net/narcotraficotage/).
