There are always new attempts by governments to systematically monitor Internet users for no reason. However, mass surveillance is not only unsuitable for fighting crime, it is also completely incompatible with democratic principles and poses a considerable threat to data security.
Good news for Android users who like to chat from the computer: the beta version of Threema’s new desktop app (which was already available to iOS users) can now also be linked to Android devices.
What a nod or a shake of the head conveys in a face-to-face conversation can be replicated in Threema with the agree/disagree feature. Sometimes, however, a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” isn’t enough to express how we feel about a message. That’s where the new emoji reactions come in.
Nearly a year has passed since the so-called “gatekeepers” had to prove their compliance with the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). Yet, some of them are still bypassing the law.
January 28 is Data Privacy Day. To celebrate this awareness day, we’ve created a sticker collection dedicated to online privacy. Show your support for the cause, and personalize your smartphone or laptop with privacy stickers!
The source code of Threema’s new desktop app is now publicly accessible. Consequently, the app is also covered by Threema’s bug bounty program. However, bounty hunters shouldn’t get too excited: the new desktop app has already undergone a thorough security audit, and it passed a recent bug bounty challenge.
Exactly twelve years ago today, on 12/12/2012, the first Threema version was published in Apple’s App Store, laying the foundation for secure and privacy-friendly mobile communication.
Like Threema, Apostrophy is a Swiss company that puts privacy first, doesn’t collect user data, and opposes to Big Tech’s ad-driven business model. Now, the two companies team up to facilitate secure and privacy-compliant mobile communication.
Together with Epic Games, Proton, and various other companies, we urge the European Parliament to not let Apple’s and Google’s circumvention of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) slide.
