European Commission: to protect Ukraine we must prevent their ability to have end-to-end secure communication
“Going Dark” is the new name for “Chat Control”
the Commission will prioritise an assessment of the impact of data retention rules at EU level and the preparation of a Technology Roadmap on encryption, to identify and assess technological solutions that would enable law enforcement authorities to access encrypted data in a lawful manner, safeguarding cybersecurity and fundamental rights.

»Gmail Gets End-To-End Encryption From Google As 21'st Birthday Present:
[…] Google Claims To Have Invented An Entirely New Type Of Encryption For Gmail Users […]«
This is not an April joke and yes Google offers OpenPGP for Gmail Accounts. This is not difficult to set up but too many people are too lazy in my opinion.
Privacy Guides is formally taking a stand against dangerous and frightening technologies.
Security-focused developers and misguided "advocates" have long attempted to convince those involved in privacy and security that E2EE is an advanced security measure designed to protect your sensitive data, and Privacy Guides has stood by for far too long not setting the record straight.

Ex-UK cyber chief says asking Apple to break encryption was ‘naive’ | New Scientist
At the end of the day, he says, governments must accept that uncrackable encryption is here to stay. “That ship has sailed,” says Martin. “I think, ultimately, governments are gonna have to come to terms with this. And I suspect in the long term that trying to compel the global titans of the [US] West Coast is not going to work.”

My Privacy-Focused iOS Setup
Productivity Suite:
Moved from Apple suite to Proton Suite for secure email, calendar, drive, VPN, and password management. End-to-end encryption and privacy focus make it a solid alternative.
Social Media:
Mastodon and Pixelfed for decentralized social networking and photo sharing.

“The real problem with sharing Top Secret data over Signal is not the security of the app, it’s the security of the phone. And mobile phones are not secure against state level threat actor” | @thegrugq is correct, BUT…
