If things like things are going up for a vote, the people already lost.

Democracy hasn’t existed for decades… you have as much chance of voting on topics like this as you do with war

Bastards!!!

Scum

Disgusting

Will this mean that children's phones are scanned too? How is that protecting children?

Yes… the scanning is done on the servers

It doesn’t protect children… this kind of i on overreach has been abused in the past

The technology is also unreliable and there are a lot of false negatives

best option to try to migrate important contacts from whatsapp to a better option? Anything NOSTR based? Maybe Signal, if they continue with their ideas and will not comply?

#asknostr

💯 agree… Signal is good but it can also be banned from app stores

PWA’s are essential… and preferably nostr but there’s a lot more work needed to make that happen

I recommend everyone to switch to the messenger Threema.

They have their servers and headquarter in Switzerland and are therefore NOT subject to this EU law!

Threema will have nothing to do with that chat control!

If you want, you can buy Threema from me!

All these 4 leak your MetaData !!!

Not being Open Source disqualifies Threema immediately. No more digging needed.

Oh, looks like I missed an announcement. Nice!

Always remember:

"Metadata absolutely tells you everything about somebodyís life. If you have enough metadata, you donít really need content."

NSA General Counsel

Stewart Baker

Check:

"We kill people based on metadata"

The problem with open source, while being better than closed source is that there can be discontinuities on the back end that leak. So, for example, the messages my be end to end encrypted and secure when seen from the open sourced code, but asynchronously the server hosts may possess decryption keys.

Open source is necessary but insufficient. There must also be no central servers. Only self hosted servers by the participants or at least the abity to do so.

Don't trust the Swiss. Protonmail is also open source and they have more han once turned over mail to EU prosecutors. They've just hosted a sham "peace meeting" for Ukraine without inviting Russia lol ! The Swiss are not to be trusted.

Both has nothing to do with Threema!

Proton stores Emails

Threema stores nothing !

https://threema.ch/en/transparencyreport

Threema has has servers ?

Reading educates !

My question was actually rhetorical

https://threema.ch/en/faq/server_location

What if a company called twoma offloads the data from threema servers as an offline process, this wont show uo in threemas open source code and then threema does indeed store nothing. Point is I don't trust them

That´s your problem...

Read about the killing of Jan Kuciak 2018 in Slowakia and you will have the proof that Threema stores nothing!

just red this article, and their conclusion is clear

https://threema.ch/en/blog/posts/stop-chat-control

"What is crystal clear, however, is that there will never be a Threema version that’s spying on its users in any way, shape, or form.

The reason Threema was created is to provide a highly secure, completely private, and anonymous means of communication."

Just use xmpp and simplex relay on your server and give accounts to friends and family.

Such a convenient coincidence.

Fuck football

funny enough that's what everyone is focusing on right now in the EU. Perfect time to cancel privacy... nobody will notice until it's live.

Yeah it's no coincidence

“panem et circenses”

“bread and circuses”

Let them do it, I'll just switch to whichever FOSS app I find usable.

During Covid the entire western world adapted to working online within months

If chat control becomes a thing, I can see P2P and freedom tech exploding

It could backfire on the state and ironically be the catalyst for radical change

L'Union européenne vote ce mercredi 19 juin pour le contrôle des conversations.

S'il cela est adopté, ca portera un coup terrible à notre vie privée et libertés, non seulement pour les Européens, mais aussi pour les citoyens du monde entier.

Tous les fournisseurs d'accès seront contraints de scanner TOUS les contenus de leurs utilisateurs.

Then people will have to actually make time for each other, not give a thumbs up to show appreciation and really talk, not just type. Who knows, we might actually get better.

so bad but nobody cares in Germany, so stupid 😳

Nobody cares. the idiots have nothing to hide. the rest have had synapse on their own root for a long time without federation or other solutions. whoever uses whatsapp or telegram is to blame.

Then unfortunately they’ll pay with their freedom

Luckily for you, you do not need everyone to practice privacy… just the people you want to build a future with

I don’t think that would fly in America. 😅

Will pass the word on to friends in Europe.

There is no political solution.

Without private property rights, we don't have any rights. We only have privileges. All privileges can be removed.

There is no reason for a slave to vote. Slaves don't have any political or legal standing.

The way out is violent revolution.

We must forcibly dismantle the European Union.

The EU is based on Jewish Marxism. Marxism is parasitism on grand scale.

Physical elimination of every single European Union operator and all their supporters is correct.

Marxism is total in scope, so it must be annihilated in its entirety.

Don't vote, revolt.

Disengage the psychopathic parasites.

Non violent evolution... doesn't have to be violent

I agree there is no political solution... to be more accurate, the solution will not come from politics... we will provide solutions that become overwhelmingly popular and politicians will support them because they will have no choice

It can be achieved through contract law and building a society that makes the old one redundant

I believe the tools the state initially uses for violence against the people will eventually serve the people once more to protect them against the state

I also agree there is an element of psychopathic parasites... fuck the fucking fuckers

I'm bullish on peaceful solutions that obsolete the elite

Does that also include browser based we interfaces for Telegram or WhatsApp or Discord or Slack…?

Service providers... so severs... from what I've read it is very open for interpretation so this is part of the reason it's so dangerous... ridiculous

This is why p2p is essential and will always be
