Shelters from domestic violence & abuse. Dissidents. LGBTQ discrimination. Democracy activists. Oppressed religious minorities. People around the world need strong privacy for many reasons. We can’t & shouldn’t take hope away from them #noplacetohide

How much harm would happen for want of #EndToEndEncryption? How many bank & medical details, business deals, or innocent (but embarrassing) photographs will leak from unencrypted chats & hacked accounts? How shall we measure *that* cost? #noplacetohide

“I don’t need #encryption, I’ve nothing to hide!” — if you’re paying a mortgage, getting a diagnosis, escaping an abusive partner, you don’t want that data to proliferate. #EndToEndEncryption gives you control over where the data goes #noplacetohide

People’s passwords get guessed & stolen. Their accounts get hacked. It happens every day. But if sensitive information is sent via #EndToEndEncryption there’ll be very little data to steal… #noplacetohide

If you are giving your children their privacy — or not already protecting your children by supervising their internet usage — why would you ask a corporation to do it on your behalf? #EndToEndEncryption is not the problem… #noplacetohide

Abandoning #EndToEndEncryption would sacrifice the privacy of the adults who your children will grow-up to become. Directly & indirectly they’ll need and use #Encryption to protect their data and loved ones #noplacetohide

BBC Radio 4 #FileOn4 “Hunting the #Darknet Dealers” – “…you can find the BBC, for example, on the #darkweb, for that very reason” — normalising #endtoendencryption is essential for progress of information security
