Lurking in the Online Safety Act is the spy clause that could make encrypted message apps scan our private chats.
This would shatter our right to privacy and create vulnerabilites that anyone could exploit.
That's why we launched #PracticeSafeText ⬇️

Message scanning powers are sleeping on the statute book. They must never get used.
The government has already tried to make Apple put a backdoor in its encrypted services. It's clear they want to recklessly dismantle our cybersecurity protections.
We must #PracticeSafeText.

How to #PracticeSafeText:
1️⃣ Use end-to-end encryption.
2️⃣ Check your contacts.

No safe message scanning technology exists.
These powers would force a cybersecurity weakness onto apps like WhatsApp and Signal.
Hackers and predators could crowbar their way into everything you send.

We deserve to live free from persecution. Where this is lacking, 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.

You can’t introduce message scanning software that undermines encryption in a way that’s anything other than less secure than what we have now.

Happy #ValentinesDay❤️. If you’re texting your love 😍🥰😘 to someone today make sure you’re not driving. Distracted driving is the leading cause of death on roads in Durham. A distracted driving charge can cost you $615 to $3,000, 3 demerit points & suspension. #PracticeSafeText
