military grade encryption explained in a single image

Encryption is not a crime, encryption protects all of us. Encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, is an essential tool to protect everyone online. Attempts to undermine encryption are an attack to our fundamental right to privacy and also an attack to our inherent right to security and safety.

Privacy Guides is formally taking a stand against dangerous and frightening technologies.

Security-focused developers and misguided "advocates" have long attempted to convince those involved in privacy and security that E2EE is an advanced security measure designed to protect your sensitive data, and Privacy Guides has stood by for far too long not setting the record straight.

My Privacy-Focused iOS Setup

Productivity Suite:

Moved from Apple suite to Proton Suite for secure email, calendar, drive, VPN, and password management. End-to-end encryption and privacy focus make it a solid alternative.

Social Media:

Mastodon and Pixelfed for decentralized social networking and photo sharing.

It’s absolutely shocking that the UK secretly asked Apple to create a backdoor in their encryption system, which would allow them to spy on Americans. And guess what? Apple won’t even confirm it! In these uncertain times, we need end-to-end encryption more than ever.

I don’t have confirmation on this, and it was I think being mentioned in the context of more secure messaging apps like Signal (and one would guess others offering end-to-end encryption like WhatsApp too) still allowing access to unencrypted (not secure) data by parts of the phone.

Can someone confirm if this is accurate?
