The #CryptoWars are back: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-fiveeyes-britain-idUSKCN1UP199 We must fight to protect our right to #privacy! Because let's face it, a #backdoor will destroy security online completely: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/why-a-backdoor-is-a-security-risk/

Just watched #TheGreatHack on #Netflix. What I appreciated about this #documentary on #Facebook and the whole #CambridgeAnalytica scandal, is that it's one of the few #privacy #documentaries to get that protecting personal data isn't just about not seeing personalized ads for stuff you're more likely to want. It's about protecting ourselves from mass psychological manipulation and behavior modification techniques. These are techniques that actually work *best* when people believe they don't.

I just posted a detailed review of my new /e/Phone. https://community.e.foundation/t/i-bought-one-of-those-refurbished-e-phones-heres-my-review/5376

I was a supporter from the start, back when it was called eelo, when it was just a guy named @gael, a blog post, and a sketchy-looking Kickstarter.

18 months later, they've built a solid, privacy-focused, Google-less Android running on 80+ phones, a consumer-friendly environment, a bucketful of default apps, their own App Store, a Personal Cloud, and now they're selling phones.

I wrote a piece on the @purism blog on why consent is critical for #privacy, the tech industry's failure to get consent, and as a result how "Privacy has become the tattoo removal of the information age". https://puri.sm/posts/consent-matters-when-tech-shares-your-secrets-without-your-permission/
