  2. Many of us still treat privacy as a personal habit: stronger passwords, cleaner settings, fewer things shared.

    But privacy is also about power: who gets to know, classify, predict, influence, and decide what happens next.

    The fight for privacy is a fight for rights.

  23. Internet blackouts in Iran are reportedly disrupting online livelihoods for many women working in freelance, education, publishing, and digital commerce sectors.

    Experts warn the restrictions are collapsing a major “parallel labor market.”

  24. In 2019, Meta committed to rolling out end-to-end encryption across Facebook Messenger and Instagram. "The future is private".

    In 2026, that future has been quietly switched off. Instagram direct messages now use only standard encryption, meaning Meta can read message content, voice notes, and images that were previously visible only to the sender and recipient.

    This is not a small adjustment. It is a reversal of a public promise made to billions of users, and it has been made with minimal noise and no meaningful alternative offered inside the platform.

    The future of private communication will not be delivered by the companies that promised it in 2019. It will be built by everyone who is still committed to it now.

    Don't collect data you don't need.

    There are several reasons why, but major are:

    ✅ Privacy is human right
    ✅ Digital rights should be respected
    ✅ Collecting unnecessary data exposes organization to risks, including legal risks
