Anyone can enrich their life, their understanding of digital security, and of privacy, by following and engaging with jsr (npub1vz0…ttwj)
He has single-handedly gone toe-to-toe with some of the world’s worst spyware baddies and their most powerful backers, and continues to expose and counter their crimes
He has also deeply engaged with and challenged Bitcoin and Nostr devs in ways that few are willing or able to do
He is constantly helping us improve and make these protocols and tools the best they can be
Follow JSR and show him some zap love 🫡 🙏 🤙

quoting note1p00…aqwfWe need #encryption backdoors to 'enforce' democracy says Europol chief.
Says anonymity "not a fundamental right"
I disagree.
#Anonymity is part of the bedrock of protecting healthy dissent.
Forcing total government access to private communications lays the technical groundwork for undermining democracy.
But here we are. It's a new year, so cops & governments are taking fresh swings at encryption.
Only the scare tactics change.
Welcome to a new, cynical chapter in the fight to protect privacy.
Demanding them... when the worst recent national security breaches in the US happened... when #China hacked government-mandated backdoors... is also absurd.
There's every reason to believe something similar may have happened in #Europe , we just don't know it yet.
Shortsighted and cynical stuff.
