As always :3… this is like… the 4th time at least I think
Yeah im think 6th or something. One time it was revealed that all the people that set up the campaign were paid or lobby buddies with the image recognition and chat scanning tool companies and big tech. Sadly everyone just quickly forgot about that…
Buddy/part of, etc.
It’s all the same bucket of power-hungry people, they’ll accept any mechanism to increase their power/control.
Yeah. They keep doing that. Sweden is very gung-ho about fucking up privacy.
Never going to be enforceable, microsoft and google will probably cave but if you care about privacy you already don’t use their products.
Signal said it would leave the EU if they were forced to break encryption, though. All other local alternatives (like Threema) would also comply, so I don’t really see an escape plan.
Delta.chat, xmpp/jabber, Matrix. Just host your own server and don’t rely on centralised services.
They said they would leave the EU. They didn’t say people couldn’t use their service via a VPN (which is the solution they suggested).
Self hosting an encrypted app (e.g. XMPP) on a VPS outside jurisdiction, in a country that just doesn’t comply.
Also add a VPN to all devices to make discovery of such things that much more difficult.
Signal
Mind you that Signal is based in the US.
It’s also open-source and privacy-focused, so I’m not sure to what extent it makes a difference. If signal were to go astray it can always be forked.
In fact, I already use Molly because it is even more security and privacy focused.
And neither will the bad guys.
If Signal leaves the EU I will build and provide a patched android app that works out of the box by including a proxy or VPN
What’s the actual relevant info in this massive wall of legalese?
The title is also the tldr
An unanswered question?
A rhetoric question
