## Resource

Cybersecurity veteran John Morgan Salomon dismantles the arguments behind "Chat Control" and similar encryption-breaking laws. In our Hybrid Analog Digital Society, privacy isn't about hiding — it's about democratic survival. When governments can read your thoughts, the targets aren't just terrorists. They're anyone who thinks differently.
