      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.

        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).

        Mind you that Signal is based in the US.

        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.

        Delta.chat, xmpp/jabber, Matrix. Just host your own server and don’t rely on centralised services.

    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?
