of secure and decentralized communication freedom to many vulnerable groups
for which it was previously inaccessible or i … ⌘ Read more

@felixp7@twtxt.net “Yo, crypto-heads. Encrypted communication doesn’t protect your privacy. Laws …” I guess crypto-heads are often happy with acknowledging this, but also arguing that e.g. deniable crypto is a useful way out here (and, of course, just doing illegal stuff if it gets really rough).
