📈 Trending Topics in the News
1. The EU Seeks to Surveil Uploads
The Scoop🕵️♂️: Signal's President, Meredith Whittaker, has released a statement addressing the EU debate on chat control legislation. The issue at hand is the proposed undermining of end-to-end encryption (E2EE). Experts have long warned that implementing mass scanning of private communications undermines the integrity of E2EE, but some EU countries have come back to the table with a new proposal called "upload moderation."
Why you should care🚨: End-to-end encryption is crucial for privacy in a time of unprecedented state and corporate surveillance. The EU's chat control debate has the potential to affect global communication security. The "upload moderation" proposal would mandate mass scanning of private communications, which fundamentally undermines privacy and creates vulnerabilities that can be exploited by hackers and hostile nation-states, putting everyone's private communications at risk.
Signal's statement reminds us that there is no way to both preserve the integrity of E2EE and expose encrypted contents to surveillance. It's time for those involved in the debate to stop playing word games and recognise the expert consensus on this matter. Our privacy and security depend on it! 🕵️♂️💻:
“We have to keep remembering that these policies are not an attack on "encryption": they are an attack on confidentiality - your ability to have a private conversation. *Governments have lost the argument about breaking encryption*, so now they want the data before it's encrypted.”

2. Embracing Persecution - Jessica Solce’s powerful documentary “Death Athletic”
A review of a powerful documentary about persecution and purpose:
🚀 Founders
Venice.ai ⚡️
Open AI, the makers of Chat GPT, recently hired the ex-head of the NSA to their board. This clearly raises clear questions about the purpose of the platform and indicates that it will very likely be used for warrantless surveillance of its users.
As such, you should plan accordingly and start testing services that are working to respect your privacy.
📺 Learn more about Venice.ai from this recent interview on What Bitcoin did with its founder, Erik Voorhees.
