Comment on EU chat control law proposes scanning your messages — even encrypted ones
MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 6 months agoNo it will be. Having your own XMPP/IRC server doesn’t prevent the NSA from spying on your metadata, and that’s exactly what will happen. It’s just that TOR and I2P will likely see an increase in traffic

Indeed. Protecting the metadata is already a completely different task from protecting the contents. But how would this law in particular change this aspect? It concerns message contents, surveillance of metadata stays the same (aka full). I was saying this about getting back access to encrypted messaging even with a low threat model.

You’re right about that, I commented without thinking. Thanks
