Sweden wants to #backdoor #encryption. But we, together with 230+ orgs, are saying no.

#NoToBackdoors 💪

Read our open letter to the Swedish Riksdag: 👉

🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”

Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.

If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?

(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

Wenn Let’s Encrypt plötzlich nicht mehr klappt, wird das halbe Internet aus Zertifikatsfehlern bestehen. https://www.heise.de/news/Nach-Trump-Dekret-Kampf-um-US-Foerdermittel-fuer-Tor-F-Droid-und-Let-s-Encrypt-10328226.html

❌ No safe message scanning technology exists.

⚠️ These powers would force a cybersecurity weakness onto apps like WhatsApp and Signal.

‼️ Hackers, predators and spies could crowbar their way into everything you send.

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

Here's how you can stop them: 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/france-surveillance-nacrotrafic-law

@GossiTheDog "For new users" - that part seems a bit odd. If they are willing to break end to end #encryption for new users, why would existing users trust them not to break it for them also...

It couldn't be clearer: Encryption is online safety.

It keeps our data secure from hackers. Our systems secure from global bad actors. Our rights secure from State oppression in a digitalised society.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

The UK is rogue in trying to order a backdoor to Apple encryption.

US lawmakers slam the UK's secretive order, calling it what it is:

🔥 'Dangerous' for global cybersecurity
🔥 'Effectively a foreign cyberattack'

The Home Office must back off ✋

Remember Friends:

You cannot both have secure end-to-end encryption to protect your communication AND also have a backdoor/key/access only for "the good guys."

This is not possible.
Do not believe anyone telling you otherwise.

End-to-end encryption protects us all,
we must fight to keep it ✊🔒

Help pressure our governments into defending our #privacy of correspondence and secure #encryption now:

Great progress for bourgeois #democracy. They push hard to have access on all of our data and the same time they take measures to avoid the process for themselves....
