Britain admits defeat in its controversial fight to break encryption.
Tech companies and privacy activists are claiming victory after an eleventh-hour concession by the British government.
The UK government has admitted that the technology needed to securely scan encrypted messages sent on Signal and WhatsApp doesn’t exist, weakening its controversial Online Safety Bill.

The UK is poised to force a bad law on the Internet.
WhatsApp and Signal have threatened to shut down services in Britain if the Online Safety Bill includes restrictions that undermine encryption. The government is pushing it through anyway.

El lag es terrible, la calidad del audio es malísima. Entonces, ¿por qué?

If you are looking for an open source encrypted federated messenger app that looks and behaves like #whatsapp or #telegram, look no further than #Deltachat. https://delta.chat/
It works (tm) with your whole social graph already and is available for all the operating systems you are using, both on mobile and desktop.

#NotLegalAdvice aber ich würd's wegen dem postfaktischen #SecurityTheater eh nicht kaufen...

Very simple: Whilst there are very large Servers for #XMPP and #eMail, it's not as if there's only one provider for each...
Unlike say @signalapp which is as centralized as #MicrosoftTeams, #Slack, #Zoom and #WhatsApp...
With XMPP - #OMEMO and #PGP/MIME you own the keys and have 100% self-custody, so on proper #E2EE you are in control.
You can decide whom to trust and whom not.
You can do #KeyExchange the way you see fit & verify them.

Got sick and tired of Suckerberg's attacks on the data on my phone. I'm throwing out #WhatsApp and giving #Signal another go.
