Comment on Head of the Signal app threatens to withdraw from Europe
abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day agoBasically, but what you forget is that Signal is also the standard for every Politician for their group chats because it’s secure, so the idea that they might lose their secure, leak-free* form of communication should worry MEPs and other politicians into taking action. Will it? I don’t know, politicians are very stupid when it comes to tech it seems.

no software can prevent PEBKAC errors. It’s like locking a door and then giving the key to a thief and being shocked when people steal your shit

That is also a good point. Generally this is dangerous for all and sundry.

If they can lobby they’ll just lobby to get all their competitors’ data after it passes.

Why would they care about leaks? I guess that’s some missed profit on selling the data, but that’s only if there’s a breach.

There’s an explicit clause that exempts politicians from the ban. They get privacy because they need it, but nobody else does.
