    Why do these dinosaurs not get this. The baddies will find another way and we’ll all lose our privacy.

      They don’t care about that, fearmongering and friends with the technology to do this shit is enough to keep trying again and again and again.

    Oh no!

    Ive accidentally dropped my keys…

    https://github.com/amnesica/KryptEY

    My KryptEY link to a githhub repo where there’s an apk for locally done on device zero-knowledge end-to end client-side encryption done using a unique keyboard!

    It would be terrible if more people downloaded and saved this apk before the EU could implement rules that could make this illegal! Then how would they be able to ban it?
