@happyborg No service provider is doing voluntary detection for end-to-end encrypted services, whereas the proposed mandatory scheme would apply to #E2EE services as well (forcing them to implement client-side scanning).

This is the big difference. It's not the ideal outcome, I fully agree about that.

In a surprise development on #ChatControl, the Danish government has sent out a press release that it will drop mandatory detection orders, and instead propose to make the current voluntary detection scheme permanent https://www.berlingske.dk/politik/efter-tysk-kritik-hummelgaard-dropper-overvaagningsforslag (in Danish)

This is essentially the proposal of the Polish Presidency in the first half of 2025.

A huge win for privacy and encryption!!

I blogged about The Dweb Project for the second time in a year 🥳

About time! Best of all you can read my 'toast' blog on the web *or* on the #AutonomiDweb because this project is all about creating a secure, decentralised web on the Autonomi peer-to-peer network.

I explain the state of the project after one year and how to check it out by loading my #Publii blog from Autonomi hOOt!

The secure, decentralised #p2p web is one download away.

We are excited to share our latest work on making secure messaging more decentralized!

We've developed DMLS – a new approach that brings fork resilience to the MLS protocol, solving a key challenge in distributed systems while maintaining Forward Secrecy.

This work was made possible by eQualitie, who funded it as part of the SplinterCon Breakout program.

#xmpp is super, but also check out #deltachat, which easy-to-use #e2ee like #signalmessenger, but #decentralized because it runs over #email (and #chatmail) servers.

It's global encryption day!

Encryption is such a critical tool to protect your personal information, but in some places around the world it's under threat.

We need to remind people and especially our governments that we all need strong, encryption without backdoors to stay safe on the internet.

Today October 21st is
Global Encryption Day! 🔒🎉

This is a good time to remember that encryption is essential to online security and digital privacy.

Despite some governments pushing hard to weaken it, we must remind them that we all need encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, to stay safe online 💚

Privacy is a human right
and end-to-end encryption is one of the best tool we have to enforce that right.

There's a reason I've been recommending folks reliant on #Signal to familiarise themselves with #jabber (or #xmpp if you like).

Signal relies on one of the companies they aim to protect us from: amazon. If amazon goes down, so to does Signal.

Is that bad? Yes. Yes it is. It is very bad. You just had the faintest hint of a whiff of what that means today.

Jabber, on the other hand, is a #SelfHostable decentralised service that has been in continuous use and development since the 90s.

With my jabber server ( #Prosody) and my #android client ( #Conversations), my friends and family and I do everything we can do on Signal - text, quote reply, search, send media and files, voice and video chat... and it's all #e2ee end-to-end-encrypted, running on hardware and software we have total control over.

Go explore the world of options with Jabber!

Message scanning powers are sleeping on the statute book. They must never get activated.

The UK government has already tried to make Apple put a backdoor in its encrypted services. It's clear they want to recklessly dismantle our cybersecurity protections.

We must save encryption to #PracticeSafeText 💬
