Description

Let no one say privacy is for criminals and get away with it. We’ve tried defending our privacy forever, from whispers, curtains, and closed doors to cryptography.

But despite projects like Tor and Bitcoin, we haven’t solved the world’s privacy problem for good. Why? Because digital privacy requires a social contract—no one has it unless everyone does.
