In the digital age, we’re more connected than ever and less free than we’ve ever been. We’ve grown used to it. Used to being watched. Used to being tracked, profiled, manipulated. We hand over our phone numbers, our metadata, our lives... not because we want to, but because we think we have no other choice. Surveillance has become the default. Vulnerability is now expected. Privacy is treated like a luxury. Or worse, a threat. Big tech sells us “secure” apps while mining our behavior. Governments speak of “safety” while expanding their power to listen in. Even the platforms once built to protect us have been co-opted, regulated, or compromised. We celebrate financial freedom while our conversations are still wide open. We trust tools that require phone numbers and cloud backups then act surprised when they leak. We encrypt our money, but not our voices. But privacy is not a side quest. It’s not optional. It’s the foundation. True digital freedom means having control over what you say, who you are, and who gets to listen. It means resisting the normalization of constant surveillance. It means building and using tools that don’t compromise. That’s why we built White Noise. A messenger with no numbers, no emails, no identities forced on you. Just encrypted, censorship-resistant communication on a decentralized network. No ads. No gatekeepers. No backdoors. Because in a world where surveillance is the norm, privacy is resistance. And without privacy, there is no freedom.
