Why Privacy Leaders Are Sounding the Alarm

Saying you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Edward Snowden
NSA Whistleblower Β· Permanent Record, 2019

Surveillance is the business model of the internet. We build systems that spy on people in exchange for services. Corporations call it marketing.

Bruce Schneier
Security Expert Β· EFF Board Member Β· Author, Data and Goliath

Privacy is a fundamental human right. Encryption is a must in today's world. Any back door means a back door for bad guys as well as good guys β€” it means we are all not safe.

Tim Cook
CEO, Apple Β· NPR Interview, 2015

There is a direct link between what we do and ensuring that democracy and freedom can survive in the 21st century. Surveillance capitalism was never the only way.

Andy Yen
CEO & Founder, Proton Β· CERN Physicist Β· TIME, 2022
