83% of UK citizens believe personal conversations on messaging apps such as Element, WhatsApp or Signal should have the highest level of security and privacy possible.

Today marks the first day of the Report Stage of the Online Safety Bill. As this Bill progresses through the Houses of Parliament, we hope to (once again) raise the alarm around the risks to encryption posed by this Bill.

    Yeah, they will not adapt and that’s not the target audience worry about privacy anyway. They’d give it out for free donuts.

    You can also simply provide a host of links to download and install extensions, just like Firefox. People that don’t care already gonna sign up stuff and give away personal info for free.(take this survey for a chance to win $5000, but input these personal info so we can contact you if you win.) For people that do care a bit about privacy end to end is like bare minimum. (Like https eventually became standard.)

      The problem with people that can’t be arsed about privacy is that they’re happy to give away your privacy as well as their own. The lesson is that if they don’t get it immediately then they probably never will.
