"We can no longer remain neutral and watch the politics unfold from the sidelines. Being neutral at this point will just enable Modi to comeback easily. Being divided at this point also helps Modi come back easily. So we have to realize what is at stake - our democracy and rights, and take steps necessary to bring down Modi from power in 2024, keeping our egos and differences aside, because fighting among ourselves will only help Modi."

"Imagine the government banning iPhones because they find terrorists are using them. The terrorists may easily switch to an Android phone but the general public may find it very difficult to make the switch."

"Even the govt have tall claims about Atmanirbhar Bharat. Actions like these are preventing us from achieving self-reliance and moving us to complete dependence on foreign companies and platforms."

India lives in extremes, there are children who are not even taught life skills like cooking for themselves or changing a bulb & there are kids who are made to work in family farms or kitchens, kids who are made default parents to younger siblings!

The EU Council is pushing for encryption backdoors to messenger apps such as WhatsApp and Signal to fight terrorism (German article): https://fm4.orf.at/stories/3008930/

Despite the fact that errors of investigation in Austrian authorities had made the attack possible in the first place and not a lack of digital surveillance powers. Politicians must start to understand that more surveillance will not lead to more security. That's why we fight any attempt for an encryption backdoor: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk/

One underreported downside to wearing a mask so much is that all this talking like Batman is wearing out my voice.

This sounds like an Orwellian nightmare: Clearview AI's software can find matches in billions of internet images. We have to keep fighting for our right to privacy. ✊

Today's act of kindness: I helped two victims of surveillance (mainstream users) with some basic privacy:

Google search > DuckDuckGo
Chrome > Firefox + uBlock Origin
Gmail > @Tutanota
Minimize number of apps

Simple actions that cuts a big chunk of surveillance. As usual they were surprised how it works.

The biggest threat to our privacy online is third-party trackers’ slow, steady, relentless accumulation of relatively mundane data points about how we live our lives. https://www.eff.org/wp/behind-the-one-way-mirror
