After a recent incident involving critical information that was obtained by this publication from the K-Section WhatsApp chat, that same chat channel is now actively discussing full encryption.

“It doesn’t make sense that people who don’t own houses in K are reading the chat,” said one disgruntled user. “It’s our private public space. Most of us never see each other. We don’t go out, plus there’s all these walls. The chat is all we have.”

A potential roadblock to encryption was quickly encountered in that nearly no one in the chat knew what encryption exactly was. With encryption not yet in place, this reporter and secret K-Section chat member quietly followed the encryption discussion, which veered from the dark web to bitcoin, then to Julian Assange and, eventually, murder for hire, broken only by Lisa Halbright from Calle Tigre breaking in several times to ask whether Kolbi was down for everyone or just her.

At Nosara Lately, we stand unequivocally against this move towards encryption. We firmly believe in free speech, relentless journalism, and easy access to juicy K-Section gossip.  We will monitor this situation as it unfolds, with the Churchillian vigilance that our readers have come to know and expect from us.
