Sometimes criminals close the door when plotting crimes.

“We should ban doors!” 🚫🚪

Sometimes criminals hide weapons under their clothes.

“We should ban clothes!” 🚫👖

🙃

Do not fall for these misguided arguments.

Most of the time people use end-to-end encrypted apps to talk about the most mundane things.

Sometimes vulnerable people use end-to-end encryption to protect themselves and stay safe.

We should keep and cherish encryption.

We should demand it everywhere.

End-to-end encryption protects our human right to privacy and safety.

We must fight for it! ✊🔒

It amazes me when people toss around scary percentages around youth identifying themselves as queer as proof of anything other than increased awareness leading to younger people actually finding out there are words they can use to describe themselves.

It’s like left-handedness. Look at that spike! OMG! It’s an epidemic! People are *making* other people left-handed! We need to stop it somehow!

Or, y’know, we stopped demonizing it and people got to be themselves. Could be that.

Want to make a bet about when CNN hosts a White Power Hour with Nick Fuentes and Baked Alaska? They can call it a town hall and have Jake Tapper ask questions.

That fits, right? After all CNN put Kaitlan Collins on a stage with a know sex abuser. Anything to appeal to the worst of humanity in the name of “ratings”. #RSSFeed
