📢 My NDSS Symposium keynote is up!

On how we lost the crypto wars, why surveillance advertising must be understood as the foundation of 'AI', & why the tactics of the past won't serve us in defending privacy today.

📢New from me!

On why 'privacy for me but not for thee' amounts to 'privacy for no one,' and how a German Military comms leak demonstrates that mass private comms services, like Signal, are the only way to ensure privacy--for anyone and everyone. 👇

Phone number privacy and usernames are now rolling out to everyone using Signal version 7.0! Update your app to take advantage of these new features 🎇

Can’t wait!

I’ll be talking on the crypto wars, the surveillance biz model, & how in the late 90s we won strong encryption but lost privacy. What does this history tell us about defending core privacy infra like Signal from attack now? & how do we avoid the mistakes of the 90s?

Messengers only matter if people use them. So, thank you for your support, for telling your friends, for getting your group chats on Signal, and for supporting our work with donations.

It’s an honor to build Signal for you. We literally could not do it without you.

We are touched by and grateful for every donation, including the occasional envelope of cash.

We’ve still got a few shirts and totes left in stock for you and your friends!

(We’ll restock in the new year, too, in case we’re out of your size)

Our new shirts say 'use Signal' in Cantonese. But they use homophones that sound like 'signal' not a literal translation. This is common shorthand, we're told.

♥️to our friends in HK for helping us get them right & to our designers for making them CUTE!
