🚨 Let’s Encrypt at risk from Trump cuts to OTF: “Let’s Encrypt received around $800,000 in funding from the OTF”

Dear @EUCommission, get your heads out of your arses and let’s find @letsencrypt €1M/year (a rounding error in EU finances) and have them move to the EU.

If Let’s Encrypt is fucked, the web is fucked, and the Small Web is fucked too. So how about we don’t let that happen, yeah?

(In the meanwhile, if the Let’s Encrypt folks want to make a point about how essential they are, it might be an idea to refuse certificates to republican politicians. See how they like their donation systems breaking in real time…)

The "quantum cliff" is coming sooner than you think. State secrets, financial information, medical records, private communications—all umasked. Forever.

First accessible by states & corps, then criminals, then everyone.

With the political changes
happening in the United States right now,

You might be seeking Europe-based tech alternatives to trust your data with.

"Google refuses to deny it received encryption order from UK government"

The UK’s encryption-breaking order for a backdoor into iCloud isn’t a one-off.

The secret hearing happening RIGHT NOW is bigger than just Apple. If the government wins, our right to privacy and security falls.

Other services will be hit.

We deserve to live free from persecution. Where this is lacking in the physical world, many LGBTQIA+ people rely on encryption to find community, resources and support.

Attempts to break #e2ee are not only damaging to privacy, but also a security threat.
