[Advocacy Advisors] Letter on digital security

[Stephen LaPorte]

Hi advocacy advisors,

I wanted to let you know that the Wikimedia Foundation joined a letter to
President Obama, asking him to reject legislation that would force
companies to deliberately weaken the security of their products. The letter
was organized thanks to TechFreedom, with a wide variety of co-signers with
a stake in digital security. Strong encryption and security are fundamental
for our work online, so this letter is worth supporting to ensure that
users can read and speak freely on our projects.

The full letter is available online:

Thanks,
Stephen
