The results are showing up… Now we have to hope for the law to be declined… Already discussed about the chat control law of the EU, here : https://lemmy.ml/post/16469106

But why can’t you just use software from GitHub or F-Droid or something that doesn’t have to obey these laws? Is it illegal?
good luck getting everyone you know to communicate with you with “software from GitHub or F-Droid or something”. I’m having a hard time making people try out Signal, which is freely available on the major app stores (and which, by the way, has declared that they’ll leave the EU market if one device scanning will be enforced on them).
I think this would give me a reason to tell my contacts why I refuse from now on to use whatsapp for instance. I could say something like whatsapp now scans every single photo you send, therefore I won’t use it so contact me on some other place.
Good luck with it, mister/miss
Thank you, good luck to you too
That’s sad but try to “afraid” a bit that’s almost the only way to convinced non-privacy guy to switch…
Sorry, what does “unfraid” mean?
Afraid sorry
Signal is great but lack some points, like the requirement of the mobile number or the centralisation of the servers
okay, but that’s not relevant to what I’m talking about here.
Right sorry
I wasn’t even talking about such cases. I was talking about people who need really secure and private communication in that particular comment
In fact it would be illegal but you wouldn’t take risks by using them. But the authorities could make them shut down one by one
They can’t if you use a VPN and the app is not in their jurisdiction
That would be difficult for sure but in fact it would be illegal
I don’t care if it’s illegal if the law violates people’s privacy tbh
This person gets it. If something like this is made illegal, the best way to fight it is just to ignore them. After all, they can’t lock up everybody. Then they would have no subjects to enslave. I mean tax. I mean enslave.
Right 👍
I understand totally but it is better to stop this law as soon as possible
Agreed
Even if this is illegal - how would such usage be detected? Your device just makes a request to a random domain on a random VPS, and the traffic is TLS-encrypted - would usage of XMPP/Matrix/whatever be that distinct?
I totally understand and this approval is absolutely ridiculous just because it’s almost impossible apply this… But even with almost 0 chance applying to every apps it’s better to kill this law as soon as possible
