Apple, Google, Meta, Bluesky, Ring, Telegram—all these companies could offer stronger protections for our chats and our data. www.encryptitalready.org

Meta appears to be reversing its strong stance on encryption. The first obvious casualty is that they’re abandoning and disabling end-to-end encryption in Instagram DMs.

"𝑃ℎ𝑜𝑡𝑜𝐷𝑁𝐴 is unreliable for the detection of illicit content: it is easy to incriminate someone by sending them false content with a hash value close to illicit content (a false positive) and to avoid detection of illicit content with minimal modifications to an image (a false negative)."

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

#TBT to our DEFCON 29 badge. More than just a stylish accessory, it offered something for everyone. The detailed artwork, a collaboration w/ flysurreal.com provided a cockpit-like experience & FAA-compliant lighting. Our 2025 badge is in the works and it’s going to be awesome! @defcon.bsky.social

It's out!! Very proud to have worked on this, and if you want to get into quantum sensing and help improve and open source project, THIS IS FOR YOU!
