The parrot is back! And he wants you to help us stop Bill C-22 from passing into law.🦜 Bill C-22 threatens the privacy and security of all Canadians. By creating backdoors into private and encrypted information, this bill would put personal communications, Canada’s digital economy, and national security at risk. We need your help. Tell your MP to reject Bill C-22: internetsociety.org/our-work…

We are seriously concerned by Meta’s announcement that it will discontinue end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages. We call on Meta to reverse this decision and implement end-to-end encryption as the default standard for all private messaging on Instagram.

From whispers to trending memes: without encryption, nothing stays secret. So we encrypted the parrot. #GlobalEncryptionDay #EncryptTheParrot

Encryption is more than privacy: it’s protection. It protects your finances, conversations, and identity. It safeguards governments, critical infrastructure, and national security. In a world without #encryption, privacy is broken. #GlobalEncryptionDay #EncryptTheParrot.

What happens when a parrot that repeats everything it hears meets a technologist who defends privacy?👀youtu.be/OA6kbB1wZcE In this witty and insightful chat, @JoeBeOne, Distinguished Technologist at the @internetsociety, explains why encryption is essential to protect your data and your digital life from being exposed, copied, or manipulated. Because without encryption, every message, search, and click could become someone else’s business. 🔐 In a world without encryption, privacy is broken. Encrypt the parrot and join the Global Encryption Coalition!

The Parrot squawked a bit too much today. What if every word you spoke echoed back? That’s life without encryption. Time to #EncryptTheParrot. #GlobalEncryptionDay

Hello humans🦜, I’m that parrot—the one who can’t help but repeat everything it hears. Your midnight searches, your voice notes, your guilty pleasure you don't want anyone to know about. I don’t judge, I just… squawk them out. Loudly. In public. (Yeah, awkward.) Honestly, I’m surprised you’re surprised. I’m just being a parrot: hear once, repeat twice. Fun for me, maybe less fun when it’s your boss, your family, or total strangers listening in. But here’s the thing: encryption isn’t just tech jargon or secret codes. It’s what protects your privacy, your choices, even your democracy. Without it, I become way too powerful—and trust me, you don’t want a parrot with a megaphone running the Internet. So I’m learning. Not every word needs repeating. Some things deserve protection, a safe space to stay private. Because privacy isn’t a luxury—it’s a right. And encryption is the tool that helps you keep it. #GlobalEncryptionDay #EncryptTheParrot

The Encryption Summit continues tomorrow, and you won’t want to miss this session! Join @CenDemTech for a fireside chat with Azad Yashovardhan, former Indian police service officer and special director of India’s Intelligence Bureau. This conversation will re-examine the #encryption debate and explore how robust, widespread encryption is not an obstacle to national security, but a fundamental pillar of it.
