Otherwise I wouldn't understand people leaving WA, FB & Co for privacy concerns, but not moving a bit when their privacy is on stake again, this time not only for the commercial benefit of some data collectors.

Funny to see this one message go viral exactly two months after posting it. 🙃

I can't believe that still only 8 people have signed the petition two days after the announcement.

Who should support this activity against opening the doors for another entryway to surveillance and the end of privacy if not the folks who are constantly waving the privacy flag?

Who will ever again believe in what we preach since ages if we just watch what's happening like unaware bystanders?

Come on, we can read what they want to do and there's a way to fight it. It's not so difficult to do.

Did you ever find it hard to convince your contacts to use encrypted communications?
It will surely get even harder once they can argue that it makes no sense at all anymore.

And they will blame you for pulling them away from Wassup, where at least they knew who was spying on them.

Think about it.

I just realized that many of my keycaps look literally polished while some only collect dirt.
At one of those the symbol is barely visible anymore. I was wondering what it is and finally identified it as the backslash key.
I refuse to clean it because it's the proven evidence for a Windows free zone.

Don’t despair when at first the idea looks crazy. Remember to wander. Let curiosity be your compass.

A life sign after three months.
