Secure communication requires protection from surveillance and exploitation while promoting stable business models. Subscription and paid services must not coerce consent for data extraction. WhatsApp's zero-rating ruling in Colombia underscores the importance of net neutrality and freedom of expression. New technology should empower society without enabling government hacking or data exploitation. The goal is to ensure affordable, secure, and non-dominant encrypted services while advocating for privacy laws and market regulations that prioritize public interest.
We need our communications to be safely away from spying eyes and unjustified government intrusion. But we also need business models that don't depend on strong-arming people into accepting data extraction and exploitation.
Access to encrypted services that are affordable, non-exploitative, secure, non-dominant is essential. Getting it right is hard, but we know what we want to avoid: government hacking, secret backdoors, data exploitation and overly powerful corporations.
