What she said! Can we please stop being so US-centric as a community? I understand that it is hard for US-based people to leave the US right now but for anyone else going to the US for a conference always has been tricky, now more so than ever.

The article refers to the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, but I can’t see any description of how this falls into the type of complaints the IPT handles. Can anyone more qualified work out what’s actually going on?

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

Apple appeals the UK government’s order to backdoor its encrypted services.

The fight to save encryption continues. Why? Backdoors are a gift for criminals and predators.

We must keep our personal data and family photos secure. We need encryption.
