Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people.

Encryption is not a crime,
encryption is a shield.

Encryption protects you from cyberattack, identity theft, discrimination, doxxing, stalking, sexual violence, physical harm, and much more.

For safety, for privacy, for democracy, and for all our human rights, it's critical that we defend our right to encryption.

Encryption Is Not a Crime

Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects us all. Encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online. Attempts to undermine encryption are an attack to our fundamental right to privacy and an attack to our inherent right to security and safety.

@Em0nM4stodon asserting that encryption is a tool for crime is paramount to saying guns, knives, crowbars, cars are all as well.

Of course, everyone knows that locks are a tool for crime. Who knows what is happening behind those doors?

@Em0nM4stodon OK if they want to remove Encryption, I'm ok with that, but only when they also going to remove Encryption (classified details) of every single government deals with every country. Defense, banking, business deal,. Put all classified details on public portal so every citizen can see it, what is running in country.

@Em0nM4stodon I wonder if the "encryption is a crime" lot were out in force when BlackBerry Messenger was released 20 years ago.

@Em0nM4stodon The only crime is in any gov't wanting to criminalize my privacy.

@Em0nM4stodon It’s like saying privacy is a crime and envelopes should be outlawed so all mail can be easily read by anyone at the post office because someone might be writing about unlawful activity.
