This is the real, human cost of mass surveillance of everyone's private digital communications.

If we actually care about keeping people safe, we need more end-to-end encryption not less.

Also, a reminder for everyone the many ways that Meta and their properties are not to be trusted.

EDIT: Let me add that Mastodon is not encrypted either--including DM's. It is upfront and open about that fact and you should not use social media for any sensitive exchanges.

@rorystarr @Mer__edith Thank you, I'll get off Meta when my website is updated...
