I do see signs of meaningful changes though.

I think a lot more people are starting to realize the cost of this convenience. How much power and freedom they are loosing. And, more visibly perhaps, how much this can actually endanger them and their loved ones.

Unfortunately, overtime more people are getting victimize by this accessibility and are looking for ways to protect themselves and their loved ones by protecting their data.

In the past 6 years, I have seen the rise of so many privacy-oriented products and services. So many more offering end-to-end encryption. This is new and refreshing!

Moreover, these privacy-focused products and services are increasingly accessible to the general public with better UI/UX on every new version. We need to celebrate this! It is a big win and it keeps growing! 🎉

However, we also need to keep working hard to raise awareness and make sure regulation propositions that are trying to undermine privacy rights do not get implemented.

We also need to keep working hard to make sure laws protecting users’ privacy are stronger, better adapted to today’s technologies and even to *tomorrow*’s technologies, dare I say. As much as this can be feasible.

I see so much improvement since the past few years. It is discouraging that it is not going faster yes, and that so many people are still unaware and misinformed about this yes, but the battle is working.

We just need to keep battling and to NOT. GIVE. UP! ✊
