With Germany poised to change its stance and approve Chat Control, digital privacy end looms in the EU

Companies that take privacy seriously, such as Signal and Tuta are issuing statements of positions regarding the topic.

TL:DR the differences between those two and all the rest are STARK.

Both Signal and Tuta state they will sue or leave EU.

And that is how you choose which businesses to support.

@echo_pbreyer Du verlierst nicht alle Kontakte weil z. B. #Signal abgeschaltet wird, Du verlierst nur einen möglichen Kommunikationskanal.

We've been using #Element / #Matrix in production in our company for 7 years now, maintain secondary emergency channel on #Signal.

Element is not perfect, has some questionable UX calls, some moments of "Why on earth would anyone..." - but truth is, I have far more such moments with #Slack and Element works "well enough."

Also know #Teams from some customers... and yeah, it's also really not great.

Baaaam! With # Beeper, "you can have multiple #Signal accounts and multiple #WhatsApp accounts, all in one device... We figured out how to make this all run locally on your device, and so it’s just as secure as using one of these native apps" www.theverge.com/decoder-podc...

Well: #Signal could also choose to interoperate with #WhatsApp, at least in the European Economic Area, thanks to #DMA Art. 7 😉 /cc @meredithmeredith.bsky.social

There's a "Signal deanonymized" thing going around:

Stay calm. Deep breaths.

👉 while this is a real consideration, the only thing the attacker gets from this is a very rough (kilometers or tens of kilometers radius) location

👉 other communication platforms that use any kind of caching CDN to deliver attachments are just as affected

👉 you almost certainly should continue to use Signal, unless you specifically know that this is a big problem for you.
