Global Encryption Day 2022 - We Did It!
Global Encryption Day happens each year on 21 October. Encryption is a vital tool that keeps us safe both online and offline. Weakening encryption puts us all at risk.
The threat to encryption is huge, but together we sent a powerful message to decision makers, saying that your online security and safety are critical.
And, because of you, people worldwide will be able to push harder and speak up louder than ever against the creation of laws and policies that put encryption at risk.
So thank you again for your contribution to our #DefendEncryption fundraiseryou've made it possible to continue advocating for everyone's safety and security online.
We couldn't have done it without you!
