This should be a seriously disturbing story for anyone in tech. Why was the former administration so hell-bent on getting rid of strong encryption in the final months of their regime? npr.org/2021/03/10/974…

The @OpenTechFund is now back in action! Thank you to every single person who amplified calls to action and who helped save the internet freedom community. It's been a long and tiring road, and everyone made miracles and magic happen ✨✨✨
Extremely pleased to see the leader behind the attacks against the @OpenTechFund out of the picture! Hopefully OTF will resume operations soon -- censors around the world didn't rest on their laurels in those 8 long months.
Democrats delayed Michael Pack's confirmation as head of US Agency for Global Media. As a result, Pack has been in office eight months of a three-year term. The Biden administration fired him in the first hour today. Pack's resignation letter:
Great way to kick off the #Biden administration's stated commitment to righting the wrongs that have plagued @USAGMgov since Pack's appointment was shoved through the Senate. Hope this means he's taking up @pressfreedom's call for @POTUS to prioritize #PressFreedom#Inauguration

Amb. @KarenKornbluh is now speaking on how @OpenTechFund helps advance Internet freedom with its tools, including those tools used by journalists worldwide.
"In just four months, OTF has been dismantled and democracy efforts around the world has been crippled." #HFAC
.@OpenTechFund "has been forced to issue stop work orders to all of its Belarus projects" because of USAGM spending freeze, @KarenKornbluh told @HouseForeign today. It had been supporting anti-censorship tools, among other resources.
Terrible geo-strategic move that will damage the democratic world's fight against authoritarianism and put at risk all those struggling to achieve freedom and democracy.

The @OpenTechFund has been pivotal in funding the technology activists use to circumvent surveillance and censorship.
In a time of rising digital authoritarianism, protecting internet freedom is more important than ever. theguardian.com/us-news/2020/s…
