My brain can't process how the US pushes their citizens to use encrypted messengers to protect their privacy and even requests from these tools to better protect metadata and the EU wants to do the exact opposite, break encryption and introduce tools for mass surveillance of their citizens. #chatcontrol

Yes, welcome to the paradise. To quote a classic author from Europe: Those, who didn't do anything, have nothing to fear.
Yesterday was the 53357544 attempt to introduce chat control. They will continue to do so until it passes. Much wow.
The EU is not a freedom project. Easy as that
Because, US control the backend servers and operating systems ...
EU, doesn't.
It's probably because they're the only ones who can access those tools, other governments don't have cryptographers, or programmers intelligent enough to break the protocols.
While apps like Signal, Threema, and SimpleX are amazing, and presumably hard to break, if any entity, or Nation State was capable of breaking encryption it would be The United States.
It's actually quite simple; the ones they're suggesting have backdoors. 💁♂️
Client -> Tor Nostr relay on receivers phone.
Make it default.
If the feds want you to use it, I inherently don't trust it. 🤷♂️
Signal too?
Assume that every private platform/app/service w/a doxxed dev/CEO is compromised.
Only use open-source, auditable platforms.
It's only a matter of time before these entities push a backdoored update (if they haven't already).
I think metadata is the biggest risk with them (and any of the recommended apps for that matter), but they do "kill people based on metadata."
look if they have a subpoena or a warrent or a court order, especially different specific to a certain person not just blanket for the whole state of Texas or something and that is way better than what they've been doing which is just spying on everybody all the time
in the meta data still very powerful just knowing that you made a call to someone without knowing what you said is still a lot of information
I think just the 3 main ones are worth avoiding altogether. They have back doors, even Apple. I do use Signal, though it's not my preferred "go to", there are a lot of people I know who use it, but I still wonder about it long term.
SimpleX solves this problem.
First time I'm hearing about this.
Just found today's rabbit hole. 🐇
Act accordingly 🤔
Wich way modern man?
Using 0xchat more and more
