Privacy Guides is formally taking a stand against dangerous and frightening technologies.

Security-focused developers and misguided "advocates" have long attempted to convince those involved in privacy and security that E2EE is an advanced security measure designed to protect your sensitive data, and Privacy Guides has stood by for far too long not setting the record straight.

My Privacy-Focused iOS Setup

Productivity Suite:

Moved from Apple suite to Proton Suite for secure email, calendar, drive, VPN, and password management. End-to-end encryption and privacy focus make it a solid alternative.

Social Media:

Mastodon and Pixelfed for decentralized social networking and photo sharing.

The UK government's action to force Apple to remove Advanced Data Protection (ADP) from its iCloud services is based on the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. This law, often referred to as the "Snoopers' Charter," grants the government the authority to demand access to encrypted data for security and law enforcement purposes.

Ramadan Mubarak to all the Muslims around the world! May Allah accept your prayers, and illuminate your heart with faith, love and peace.

The Notesnook team will be taking some time off to recover and plan ahead. We'll be releasing v3.1 once we are back.

Ramadan Mubarak!

No More End-to-End Encryption for iCloud in the UK!

#Apple halts Advanced Data Protection under government pressure. Your iCloud files? No longer fully encrypted.

Take back control – encrypt your files before uploading! Cryptomator keeps your data private, no matter what Big Tech decides.
