The Global Encryption Coalition (GEC) announces the Global Encryption Day 2024 that takes place today.
The members of GEC are found here and include Bits of Freedom from the Netherlands.

There are several online events today.

The Global Encryption Day 2024 Statement was submitted yesterday:

Strong encryption is a critical technology that helps keep people, their information, and communications private and secure. It underpins online trust, protects members of vulnerable communities, and safeguards the data of governments, businesses, and citizens from criminals and other malicious actors.
However, some governments and organizations are pushing to weaken encryption, which would create a dangerous precedent that compromises the security and privacy of billions of people around the world. Actions in one country that undermine encryption threaten us all.
On Global Encryption Day, we call on governments and the private sector to reject efforts to undermine encryption and instead pursue policies that enhance, strengthen, and promote use of strong encryption to protect people everywhere. We also support and encourage the efforts of companies to protect their customers by deploying strong encryption on their services and on their platforms.
Strong encryption is a critical tool toward a safer world for us all.
