Saving Private Communications
The war in Ukraine is exploited to pick an unpopular first target
So the biggest surveillance companies (contractors) now disguise themselves as "diversity" and the EU treats privacy as a crime (or already deals with the facilitation of privacy like an arrestable offence [1, 2, 3]).
This is getting worse (or escalating) faster than most of us imagined it would. Of course anyone who opposes this trajectory can conveniently be painted as "Kremlin apologist", but that's not what's at stake at all.
Here in this site we've long relied on privacy, including end-to-end encryption. It's how we protect sources and coordinate publication of exclusive (and sometimes highly sensitive) material.
What's happening right now is a story "in progress"; what's at stake isn't some paedophiles or some random Telegram users. A lot of the media needs to watch this carefully.
Be sceptical of media that hesitates to support encryption or actively resists privacy. █
A cliff-edge variant of, "with us... or with the terrorists" (or paedophiles)
