News at the intersection of tech and policy shows that Child Safety Online has joined National Security as the cudgel used to weaken #privacy protections. From #RealNames and overuse of #IdentityProofing, to pushing for encryption backdoors, we have a fight on our hands. We need more fighters like @Mer__edith and Elizabeth Garber that focus on the rights and protections of the individual.

The Algorithmic War (March 28, 2026)
📡 Signal vs. Noise: The Geopolitics of Information (March 28, 2026)
We are witnessing a coordinated erosion of the transatlantic information space. As certain political figures continue to weaponize false narratives about NATO obligations, the underlying infrastructure of our digital world is being tested.
It is no longer just about what is being said, but where it is being hosted.
When a major platform’s algorithm is tuned to prioritize "Engagement through Outrage," the nuanced truth about collective defense and Article 5 is the first casualty. This is why we don't just talk about security—we host it ourselves.
In our updated NATO Technical Dossier:
The "Protection Money" Myth: We deconstruct the lie that NATO is a subscription service.
The Rhea1 Milestone: Why European-made silicon is the only long-term defense against hardware-level backdoors.
The Sovereign Shield: How open-source integrity (supported by the STF) prevents "Kill-Switch" diplomacy.
The era of trusting a billionaire's "Black Box" with our regional security is over. We provide the raw data; you make the call.

@GossiTheDog nothing with a back door is secure. I’m saying this since 1993 and that almost got me fired.

And don't get me wrong I have nothing against good old-fashioned police work to hunt down crooks and criminals.
(Unusually in the United States a judge is involved if keys are handed over. But we don't know for how long this will be the case. A lot of damage has been done already and this is only the first year.

Liegt wohl in der Natur der Sache. Muss schon ein starker Druck gewesen sein, dass sie nach eigenen Angaben ihre Server in FR aufgebern.
Einer der in mind. einem Faden verlinkten Medienartikel - trotz Boulevard - sieht nicht gut aus:

GrapheneOS is being heavily targeted by the French state because we provide highly secure devices and won't include backdoors for law enforcement access. They're conflating us with companies selling closed source products using portions of our code.
Both French state media and corporate media are publishing many stories attacking the GrapheneOS project based on false and unsubstantiated claims from French law enforcement.
They've made a clear threat to seize our servers and arrest our developers if we do not cooperate by adding backdoors. Due to this, we're leaving France and leaving French service providers including OVH. We need substantial help from the community to push back against this across platforms.
People malicious towards us are also using it as an opportunity to spread libel/harassment content targeting our team, raid our chat rooms and much more. /e/ and iodéOS are both based in France, and are both actively attacking GrapheneOS. /e/ receives substantial government funding. Both are extremely non-private and insecure which is why France is targeting us while those get government funding.
We need a lot more help than usual and we're sending our the first ever notification to everyone on the server because this is a particularly bad situation. If people help us, it will enable us to focus more on development again including releasing experimental Pixel 10 releases very soon.

@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.
They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.
This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.
The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen. Show up for them in whatever way you're able to.

Encryption isn't just tech—it's a human right in the digital age. Resist global efforts to break encryption, push for stronger data protection & E2E encryption. 🦾

UK Is Ordering Apple to Break Its Own Encryption - Schneier on Security

Once again, I will shout into the void, #NoBackdoors.
Requiring any company to disable or secretly backdoor their encryption mechanisms is destructive of #security, #privacy, and trust.
As we all breathlessly try to catch up on all the talk about LLMs, Agentic AI, and more, this post by @matthew_d_green is an important reminder to slow down and consider what is at stake.

It’s not like folks in the #security and #privacy space haven’t been warning (actually, screaming from the rooftops) for years and years that there is no such thing as a secure backdoor. You build a compromise into a system, it will get exploited. #NoBackdoors
