schestowitz-pi2<techrights-news> EFF: "Freedom of speech and association include the right to choose one’s communication technologies." That's to say, people have the right to produce and sell heroin. It's OK is they made the addiction and the physical harms "digital". Because... well, because.Mar 27 11:11
schestowitz-pi2<techrights-news> EFF: don't encrypt email, that's NOT SAFE ("e-fail"). Using TikTok is OK though.Mar 27 11:13
schestowitz-pi2<techrights-news> EFF: using heroin is freedom of speechMar 27 11:15
schestowitz-pi2<techrights-news> EFF: don't break ENIGMA. That's racist and bad for privacy. It harms Free speech. Also: do not cite Jake Appelbaum, that would not be free speech. Use Signal; we've had since March 7 2017 hard evidence that CIA is snooping on it, but that's OK though. Just don't encrypt E-mail.Mar 27 11:18
