Introducing #EncryptItAlready

Today, we’re launching #Encrypt It Already, our push to get companies to offer stronger #privacy protections to our data and #communications by implementing end-to-end #encryption. If that name sounds a little familiar, it’s because this is a spiritual successor to our 2019 campaign, #FixItAlready, a campaign where we pushed companies to fix longstanding issues.
