Big Privacy Guides News! 
After many requests, we finally have a MERCH STORE! 
This is a new way to support us
while making a public statement (in style) about privacy rights
We have a few designs to choose from already, and ZERO AI was used in the creation process!
The Defender of Privacy design
was created by me personally, from love, joy, and hard work, using a human brain.
I hope you like it! https://shop.privacyguides.org

Save the Children!
Ban AI-chatbot groomers
Secure children's communications with end-to-end encryption
Forbid companies from requesting personal identification or biometrics of children or potential children
Prohibit privacy-invasive legislation like Chat Control or Age Verification laws that would endanger the children
Make it illegal to collect any personal data about children, potential children, parents of children, or ex-children
I feel this needs to be repeated 
The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.
No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.
My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.
Yours shouldn't either.
Let's be clear: What they want is privacy for the monarchs and nobles, and to remove it entirely from the peasants.
Because they want to control the peasants.
They want to control us, entirely.
We never left feudalism, the monarchs and nobles simply changed their titles and fashion, while letting us believe we could become one of them someday.
But we will always remain exploitable and expendable peasants to them.
We cannot wait after them to improve our lives. We must organize to take the power back to the people, where it belongs.

The erosion of privacy rights we are seeing worldwide is directly linked to the rise of authoritarianism we are seeing worldwide.

I don't understand how
the people who want to protect their own sensitive information from corporations in order to stay safe and not become victims are deemed paranoid,
But the corporations demanding
to verify our identity asking for our legal name, gender, sex, date of birth, email, phone number, home address, location, IP address, MAC address, list of apps, purchase history, access to contacts, device model, official ID, passport, birth certificate, fingerprints, facial scan, palm scan, iris scan, preferred sleeping side, and underwear color are not? 🤨
Politicians:
Terrified about citizens that might be sending private messages they cannot read on Signal -> Sudden panic about "protecting the children" 
Also politicians:
Grok AI Chatbot collects data and asks for nudes from a 12-year old -> AI is innovation! We should invest billions in taxpayers money in it!

It's incredible to me how we gave up on so many aspects of privacy in the past five years. Things that we were taking for granted not long ago.
Now, some think it's totally normal to record others without their consent in any contexts.
People feel entitled to others' images and personal lives, incessantly demanding access to it. Everyone needs to share everything publicly online or be deemed suspicious, and excluded.
This has greatly errored the fabric of social relationships and trust in our societies.
There is so much we need to do to heal this culture and the damages that have been done and continue to be done.
We need to treat each other with respect. Genuine respect as human beings. And consent, true consent with true choices, is at the center of that.
No, I don't want generative AI anywhere.
I don't want AI to write.
I don't want AI to draw.
I don't want AI to learn.
And I certainly don't want AI to make any decisions for me or about me.
Now our governments (using OUR money) are following the AI tech bros into the AI-Hell pit! 🫠 
Please stop this madness already!
@signalapp THANK YOU!!!
