• Vodafone has one of those gratuitous brand repositioning exercises

  05-10-2017 14:02

• UK government continues quest to ruin the reputation of encryption

  05-10-2017 10:27
  Amber Rudd is a woman on a mission, and that mission is to mutilate the reputation of platforms like WhatsApp in the pursuit of the destruction of end-to-end encryption.
  It isn’t new. Rudd must have been wronged by an online troll at some point and has taken it very personally. She is leading the charge to have WhatsApp and other social media platforms end dark and dirty practices of encryption, irrelevant to the consequences.
