Tools for encryption and anonymity - Germany and Europe need to step up to their responsibility
Much of the funding of projects for the technical implementation of digital freedoms is threatened by the Trump Government. It is now time for Germany and Europe to step into the breach and provide adequate and sustainable funding for the development ecosystem. A commentary.
The continuing erosion of the political and legal protection of civil liberties has led to a situation where freedom of information and communication and the right to privacy and anonymity become increasingly dependent on technology. Digital self-defence has many facets: anonymisation tools such as Tor, end-to-end encryption such as WireGuard or Signal, securing website access with LetsEncrypt or the tools for reproducible builds, which ensure that the software you install has actually been created from source code that someone has checked for security holes. This ecosystem of software and infrastructure has grown exponentially since the Snowden revelations.
Many of these projects have one thing in common: Their development is funded by the US government, often with money from the Open Technology Fund (OTF). Some projects like Tor also receive money from the US State Department and other US government agencies. But why would the US government fund technology development that makes life difficult for the NSA intelligence agency?

Telegram's CEO, Pavel Durov, has said Telegram would rather exit a market than undermine encryption with backdoors.
This comes as France and other governments push for a legal backdoor for police access to private and encrypted messages.

🚨 ThreatsDay Bulletin — The EU wants to rewrite its privacy rules.
New proposal would let companies use personal data to train AI without consent, if done for “legitimate interest.”
Critics say it’s a major rollback of GDPR and a win for Big Tech.
