My local library's free encryption workshop last month was a total eye opener

I went to a talk at the Seattle Public Library about basic digital safety for activists. The speaker showed us how to use Signal and explained what end-to-end encryption actually means. I mean, I'd used the app before, but hearing how it protects group chats for people in places with strict speech laws really hit different. Now I actually explain it to my friends instead of just saying 'it's more private'. Anyone else have a simple moment that made privacy tools click for them?

Totally get that, lily360. I had the same thing happen when my buddy broke down car engine sounds for me. Suddenly every weird click on my drive to work became a real problem I could picture, lmao.
