'ENCRYPT IT ALREADY' CAMPAIGN PUSHES BIG TECH TO PRIORITIZE E2E ENCRYPTION
Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
The Electronic Frontier Foundation launched its "Encrypt It Already" campaign, urging major tech companies such as Bluesky, Google, and Ring to fulfill their promises to implement end-to-end encryption by default across their platforms. The initiative highlights that many companies either offer E2EE as an opt-in feature or have delayed rolling it out entirely, leaving users exposed, particularly as AI agents increasingly access sensitive communications with less human oversight. EFF noted that several targeted companies are "highly likely" to enable these features within the year, but stressed that default-on encryption remains critical since most users never change default settings.
