A victory for privacy and encryption advocates! 🎉

The European Court of Human Rights confirms:

"...Weakening of encryption can lead to general and indiscriminate surveillance of the communications of all users and violates the human right to privacy."

To our entire community of users:

We agree completely - accessibility is an essential human right, no question!

We deeply apologize...

Accessibility has always been a first-order priority for us. It's important as well to not see such essential feature sets as binary - an either "have" or "don't have", and our intention today was to receive feedback on whether we're currently excelling in these areas or if you, our dear users, feel we can do even better.

We're also currently in the review process of an accessibility certification, and will share the results when that comes to fruition.

Dropbox was caught enabling "Third-party AI" as an opt-out default to all user accounts.
Meanwhile users were deeply uninformed of the changes..

This is our new world: If your privacy matters, keep your data yours!

Our friends @arstechnica explore the debacle:

While all software has security issues, the irresponsible behavior of Microsoft shows why anti-trust action is needed to reduce the stranglehold the big tech firms have over the cloud computing market. Without external pressure, companies tend to hide rather than fix problems. https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/08/microsoft-cloud-security-blasted-for-its-culture-of-toxic-obfuscation/ #security #bigtech #oversight

The wave of new AI tools comes with a ton of new #privacy concerns.

A new website where you can upload a photo to identify people shows it’s not limited to those who use AI themselves. And it shows why you should avoid giving your data to random companies.

Do these developments worry you? They worry us..
