New Privacy Guides article

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

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

Moreover, if you are an organization dealing with data from Europeans, it could be wise to start the move for GDPR compliance now, in the eventuality the EU–US Data Privacy Framework it relies on were to change...

Whatever the reason,
you can check some of Privacy Guides' recommendations in this excellent article-list by Jonah: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/03/19/private-european-alternatives/

I note this high level British state legal hearing is being held 'behind closed doors'.

That would be the same British state that over the years has parroted the 'nothing to hide, nothing to fear' lie over the years.

‘Absurd’

When you have the press and civil society camped outside the courtroom, the secret might be out

Even so, we’re still denied the reasons why the UK government wants to take a battering ram to our security and privacy.

It shows contempt for the public interest in the Apple encryption case.

"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.

No one really knows how the game is played
The art of the trade
How the sausage gets made
We just assume that it happens
But no one else is in
The room where it happens.

If you want to encrypt correspondence with us (decoded.legal), we offer:

• Signal
• PGP'd email
• XMPP

For calls/video:

• Signal
• XMPP
• Jitsi (not e2ee, but the server is here too)

Ad hoc, we can also use:

• OnionShare
• cwtch
• magic wormhole

"This is a significant test for the battle between law enforcement and technology.”

Holding the Apple case in secret makes the legal process more cloak and dagger, less scales and sword.

It makes it harder to challenge the UK government's order to break encryption and creates a dangerous precedent.

This case sets the stage for more shady encryption-breaking orders to be made.
