„The right to encryption is an extension of our right to privacy, articulated by Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights which gives each and every one of us the “right to respect for private and family life, home and correspondence.”“

Tiny Privacy Reminder :

Please remember friends,

If someone hides
their face,
their name,
or their IP address online,
it doesn’t necessarily mean they are being inauthentic or malicious. It actually very rarely means this.

Many people hide their identity or part of their identity online for protection. Especially people from vulnerable populations

People who are
being or have been stalked, harassed, or assaulted will often hide their face, name, and location online for safety reasons

People who are
part of a demographic regularly receiving hate comments online have very good reasons to hide their true identities as well

Treating people
hiding their identities for protection like criminals
only victimizes further people already being victimized

Recognizing the
Right to Privacy to everyone,
and recognizing everyone might have different reasons to protect themselves in different ways online is essential on the path for justice and equality

Das ist als wenn die #Politiker bei dir zu Hause in allen Zimmer eine #Wanze installieren darf, weil sie sonst nicht weiß, was bei dir zu Hause gesprochen wird. Kann mal bitte jemand den Behörden einen Schlag auf die Stirn verpassen, damit die aufwachen? Wir müssen uns dagegen wehren!

“Do you use encrypted messaging (WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, ProtonMail)? “

Me: Yes! Of course! Don’t you?

“For your personal data, do you use an encryption system? “

Me: Yes! Of course! Don’t you?

“Why do you use this kind of encryption and anonymization applications on the Internet?“

Me:
1. Because Privacy is a Human Right
2. To protect from thieves
3. To protect from stalkers
4. To protect from phishing
5. To keep my personal data away from surveillance capitalism

Why don’t YOU want to protect yourself from that?

As an act of protest against the EARN IT act and the STOP CSAM act, today, I'm wearing my "Encryption is not a crime" T-shirt while I'm out shopping. It's not much, but hopefully, it does something.

We’ll need to keep a close eye on this in case the government-particularly the Police-try to get access to encrypted services or restrict access to them. I assume that with New Zealand being relatively weak, the government would be unable to take effective unilateral action and would have to rely on supporting other countries’ actions. (Not sure if that’s a better outcome or not.)
