We need smarter solutions, not invasive surveillance.

The image is a modified version of the Skype end-of-life graphic, promoting Jitsi instead of Microsoft Teams. At the top, there are two icons: the Skype logo on the left and the Jitsi logo on the right, with the text "jitsi.org" below them. The message reads, "Thank you for being part of Skype. Skype retired in May 2025. You can use Jitsi, a free and open-source video conferencing platform, for messaging and calling with your contacts." Below this message, there are logos for five alternative communication platforms: Element, Session, Signal, and Mumble. Each logo is accompanied by its respective website URL: element.io, getsession.org, signal.org, and mumble.info. The background features a gradient of light purple and white, with a subtle texture.
