• Skiff has severe focus on censorship and surveillance by Big Tech, and now the platform is announcing the launch of its end-to-end encrypted calendar mobile apps and a new, low-priced paid email plan with added storage and more.

• Facebook and Google are handing over user data to help police prosecute abortion seekers

  PAID If you can spare $4 I think Threema is the way to go. It’s completely anonymous, no names, no numbers and it has a scannable QR code you can show other Threema users you meet if you don’t want to exchange personal information. Source: about 1 year ago
