Imagine opening your front door wide and inviting the world to listen in on your most private conversations. Unthinkable, right? Yet, in the digital realm, people inadvertently leave doors ajar, potentially allowing hackers, tech companies, service providers, and security agencies to peek into their private communications.
Much depends on the applications you use and the encryption standards the apps uphold. End-to-end encryption is a digital safeguard for online interactions. Itȁ

It’s been another wild few weeks for crypto as Bitcoin rocketed to new highs thanks in large part to Bitcoin ETFs getting the green light from regulators. Even now, after the rally cooled off a bit, prices remain far higher than they did last month. And yet, despite the crypto market’s current upswing, major questions remain: Namely, whether crypto is actually a safer alternative to fiat currency, and what effective government regulation might actually look like.

On Wednesday the European Parliament passed the AI Act by a wide majority, with 523 of its 705 members voting in favor. Hailed as the world’s first major effort to regulate AI, the legislation takes a risk-based approach to services or products that use AI. Content recommendation systems, for example, would be deemed low risk and thus subject to relatively lax oversight; medical devices, on the other hand, would face heightened scrutiny around issues like data and transparency.
Politicians take leave of their senses when they’re on the campaign trail. Self-preservation, shaped through the desire to win re-election, comes before principles. How else to explain the sight of 352 members of the House of Representatives voting on Wednesday to pass the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (also known as the TikTok Act)?
