Chat Control: EU lawmakers finally agree on the voluntary scanning of your private chats

You can't just "slightly weaken" true end-to-end encryption without breaking it entirely. If a system is built to scan your messages before they're encrypted (like some proposed laws want), that capability can always be abused, broadened, or hacked by others later.
Stick to messaging apps that offer real end-to-end encryption, where the code is fully open source and independently verifiable. And stay alertβbills and regulations like these are often attempts to sneak in backdoors that let governments (or anyone who compromises them) read your private conversations.

so not signal, right?
Right?

Cellebrite being used by the TSA is SHITraeli military tech and can already break through Signal and Discord encryption in their latest update.
A majority of countries across the world, certainly most EU countries use SHITraeli surveillance and cyber security tech. Pegasus and Palantir can be argued to be using the same backend Master system.
Go figure.
Voluntary scanning, what could possibly go wrong...
What does this mean? Does it mean that some people will create messaging apps without encryption intentionally and then advertise themselves as EU safe or something?
I guess that's one way of going about it. Social and societal manipulation, getting people to police themselves. Good job EU.
Any proof of those claims?
Which part?
It's too much to type it all, enough rabbit holes will show proof for most of them anyway. But you gotta want to put in the work π€
Just point me where they have broken the encryption? Or its just fud
It was all over the news.
Whether or not it's FUD is questionable considering none of SHITraeli software used legal means or abides by privacy laws (of any jurisdiction whatsoever).
That's why it's called 'data harvesting'.
It would be a tall claim to make if it's fake, but since they have the M0ssad network to harvest from, I wouldn't put them above it just yet..
It also says something about us as a community if we still expect them to play by any rules. Terrorists don't do that.


The encryption is fine, if your device leaks your key, use molly. It is protected on your local device then too. If they dont have your key, your messages cant be read.
This it?

Thanks, though since we've only just managed to migrate a few folks to Signal, we'll research Molly properly to see if it's def a better option. Getting platform fatigued with all the moves.
Yes its a FOSS fork of signal that allows protection of data on your phone.
