We'd like to hear your feedback!

Brave people asked us to include Brave as a Google Chrome alternative. In the original post, Brave was not included because it is based on Chromium.

What are your thoughts: Should we, or should we not include Brave in this image of Google alternatives? Why?

The EU is moving forward with #eIDAS despite warnings from over 500 scientists & privacy advocates.

With no requirement that server-side code be released open source, we cannot be sure that our personal data is secure.😱

Thankfully, the #Pirates 🏴☠️ in the EU Parliament did manage to push for an #opensource release of the client-app & the eID will be voluntary.

This isn't over. EU citizens please contact your representatives and demand they respect our #privacy !🥊

It's #GlobalEncryptionDay!

Time to remind everyone that a backdoor "for the good guys only" is simply not possible.

By demanding encryption backdoors, politicians are not asking us to choose between security and privacy. They are asking us to choose no security. 👇

⚡️ BREAKING ⚡️ Today's vote on #chatcontrol has been postponed a second time!

Which of the above is an #AprilFool? 🤔

#Signal threatens to exit the UK if the Online Safety Bill weakened encryption.

But we will not make it so easy: We will not 'walk' from the UK.

If Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his government want to stop people in the UK to use strong encryption, he must block access to Tutanota - just like Russia and Iran.

The UK would be on the same level as authoritarian regimes like Russia & Iran.
