Australia: Speak out to save encryption
by PuZZleDucK 07 Sep '18

Hi folks, Open Media are currently running a campaign to make it super easy to have your voice heard on the current draft legislation proposed by the Australian government. This legislation would attempt to force companies to create ways to access encrypted communications. All you need to do is fill out your details and optionally customize the (rather sensible) template letter outlining concerns with the draft. https://act.openmedia.org/AustralianEncryption We only have until the 10th, so get signing... now! ~~ Ben Minerds
