The non-profit Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today launched an "Encrypt It Already" campaign calling on tech companies including Apple, Google and Meta to implement or expand end-to-end encryption across their platforms. The group highlights gaps such as lack of RCS end-to-end encryption and limited iCloud defaults, urges per-app AI permissions for Apple Intelligence and Google Gemini, and requests detailed technical documentation and data-minimization practices.
