Privacy is a Human Right! ✊

Not sharing publicly what you do not wish to share is your right! 🔒✨

The attack on encryption in Europe is very real. We obtained a leaked document from the EU showing Spanish officials want to ban end-to-end encryption.

Beyond this, the document shows the views of 20 countries on encryption, and how it relates to a controversial proposed law that would allow companies to scan people's chats to hunt for child sexual abuse material.

The majority said they are in favour of some form of scanning of encrypted messages.

The document also reveals that a lot of countries don't appear to know how end-to-end encryption works, with many proposals being technically infeasible.

Sometimes criminals close the door when plotting crimes.

“We should ban doors!” 🚫🚪

Sometimes criminals hide weapons under their clothes.

“We should ban clothes!” 🚫👖

🙃

Do not fall for these misguided arguments.

Most of the time people use end-to-end encrypted apps to talk about the most mundane things.

Sometimes vulnerable people use end-to-end encryption to protect themselves and stay safe.

We should keep and cherish encryption.

We should demand it everywhere.

End-to-end encryption protects our human right to privacy and safety.

We must fight for it! ✊🔒

#RootForE2EE #E2EE #Encryption #Privacy


Politicians dream about the idea of #encryption backdoors and the ability to read any message in the world. But what they don't realize is that they won't be the only ones using it. A #backdoor endangers us all: it is a sure road towards abuse of power and unintended exploitation that essentially voids any expectation of #security or #privacy.

Confusing? Perhaps this is more clear with a quick #comic.

Don't let the #surveillance machine run loose, friends.
Cartoon titled "Why backdooring encryption doesn't work"

A man dressed in a suit labelled "GOV" holds a sharp pin labelled "BACKDOOR" pointing menacingly towards a fully inflated balloon labelled "ENCRYPTION." The balloon is kept inflated by a machine pumping in "ALL THE WORLD'S SECRETS" into it.

The man looks at the reader and says: "I'm uncomfortable with the idea of you knowing something I don't. I'll make a small hole here, so my friends and I can access it when we think we need to. Don't worry: it's only a small hole."

The man continues in a second speech bubble: "What? C'mon, it's only a little hole! How bad can it be?"

"Security considerations play a day-to-day role. However, the “most secure protocol” is useless if few are able to understand or use it. “Usable security” itself remains an evasive concept if we can’t facilitate its implementation in real-life apps. Between usability, security, and implementation considerations there is no natural hierarchy: each constrains and influences the others."

We hardly talked about #security audits but there is nothing to hide!

#DeltaChat received three security audits in total, covering core networking #encryption as well as SMTP/IMAP protocol and end-to-end encryption, and also including an audit on our recent secure server setup guide: https://delta.chat/en/2023-03-27-third-independent-security-audit


The EU Commission is planning what Apple stopped after a huge backslash: Turning your own device into a surveillance machine via client-side scanning.

While the #CryptoWars continue, we would like to remind everyone of two very convincing facts for the pro #encryption side:

✅ 1. Encryption can't be outlawed

✅ 2. Backdoors for the good guys only are impossible
