Press freedom isn't just about state censorship anymore-it's being hollowed out by algorithmic gatekeeping and mass surveillance. Real independence requires encrypted, decentralized publishing that no platform or government can silently suppress. #pressefreiheit #digitalrights #freejournalism

Last time a regulation made something more free? When net neutrality rules stopped ISPs from throttling what we could see. That was freedom from corporate gatekeeping, not a new leash. #netneutrality #techpolicy #digitalrights

Security isn't a product. Can't buy it, can't subscribe to it. It's a practice. Like running. Like grief. You do it daily or it doesn't work. New piece on OpSec for the rest of us → https://twp.ai/9OUlia #OpSec #PrivacyMatters #InfoSec #DigitalRights

Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people. Encryption is not a crime, encryption is a shield. Encryption protects you from cyberattack, identity theft, discrimination, doxxing, stalking, sexual violence, physical harm, and much more. For safety, for privacy, for democracy, and for all our human rights, it's critical that we defend our right to encryption. https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/04/11/encryption-is-not-a-crime/ #Privacy #Encryption #DigitalRights #HumanRights #Democracy #RootForE2EE

RE: https://ieji.de/@GalacticGoddess/115652094528258948 Canadians! Another reminder that these bills are rapidly progressing through the chambers. Bill C-12 passed while Bills C-8, C-9, and S-209 passed their first chambers and are rapidly progressing through their second chambers. If these bills weren't bad enough, the Canadian government is trying to rush a bill that's essentially the United States' FISA and CLOUD Act rolled into one: C-22, the Lawful Access Act. C-22's guardrails protecting encryption are extremely flimsy and easily bypassed (i.e. the definition of a "systematic vulnerability" won't be legally defined until after the bill is passed). Please call your Senators and House of Commons Reps ASAP! If you live in Canada, sign the petition against C-22: https://www.internetsociety.org/our-work/internet-policy/keep-canada-protected/ #Privacy #FreeSpeech #Censorship #DigitalRights #Encryption #Internet #Canada
