@naval @signalapp Recommending the app that's already promising to shut down in Europe if the law passes is a curious recommendation to make in response to concerns about the same law.

@Granger4NH @signalapp But you won't blame the system that creates the issue in the first place, you'd rather lick it's boots and believes everything the American government tells you. I have no hope for you, other than the fact that you're heavily propagandised by far-right talking points

@Altismus @signalapp 2/6 you, if you are surveiled 24/7, do not know what might get you in trouble, who to trust. 2) Mission creep. Once chat control infrastructure is in place, it will not stay at CASM scan. Next comes terror. Drugs. Gangs. What about Anti-Christianity? 3) Use by others. The

@Altismus @tripledoublebtc @signalapp This means you cannot host your own services anymore, every service runs through big companies which are all state controlled. Everything you do is scanned and used and you simply become a product.

@sudobunni @signalapp You either paranoid them about Meta's tracking or that @signalapp is really simple and easy to setup. I am not sure if they have solved not requiring a phone number issue but you can also use it on desktop without connected to your phone.

@Altismus @signalapp 6/6 communication. They are not law-abiding in the first place; why would they start now? And those points are just off the top of my head. I may still miss parts of the picture. Short version: The price tag is VERY large and the system will not cut down on CSAM meaningfully.

@Altismus @DiarioBitcoin @signalapp top of it. What happens with false positives? As usual, it will be on you to spend time, effort, & money to prove your innocence. How often did you have to spend time on fixing issues you didn't cause? Happens all the time these days. This will be no different. Don't forget 2/n

@Altismus @HanifCarroll @signalapp People are mocking you and treating you with disrespect because you said privacy is a "weapon". That is a loaded statement with a clear bias. You can pretend you have a nuanced opinion, but anyone with half a brain realises that you've already made up your mind. It is also one of the dumbest things I've ever read. It is not an "extremely complex problem" at all. Privacy is a human right. Will bad people use it? Of course! Bad people use lots of things - that doesn't mean nobody else should have access to those things. It's not hard to understand. Should we not allow locks? Ropes? Knives? Cameras? Money??? Beyond that - to say that "if an idea is truly stupid or dangerous, it won’t gain support" shows an unbelievable level of naivety and a profound ignorance of history. To such an extreme degree that I can only assume you are part of a nudge unit operated by some or other intelligence agency. Nobody who can read and write can truly be that ignorant of reality.

@Altismus @signalapp Removing privacy is so tempting because it allows for solving many minor (as in minority) problems at once. On the other hand, privacy is the last resort against major (as in in majority) threats when things go down for an individual, a group, or a society. Since the root cause for the above minor problems are never the privacy, while the main weapon for oppression is always reducing privacy, I would not opt for the removal.

@shotgunner101 @Altismus @signalapp In this thought experiment, if a tyrannical EU government banned end-to-end encryption via Chat Control and layered it with existing surveillance (e.g., data retention, AI monitoring), the odds of civilians successfully organizing a coup or revolution would be very low—perhaps under 10%. Detection of plans would be swift, stifling coordination, as seen in history. Offline networks or tech workarounds could help, but systemic control would heavily favor the state.

@Altismus @tripledoublebtc @signalapp No more curtains at home, no more non see through doors at your place. You won't have anonymity walking down the street, everyone should see your personal data, income, bank balances, credit scores. The freedom to be in privacy.

@Altismus @signalapp Your government considered jewish, gay, and disabled people "up to no good" for simply being alive and used a surveillance state to hunt them down systematically. People said what happened to Dresden was too far, but if you've already forgotten then clearly it wasn't far enough.

@Altismus @signalapp 1/2 I share your concern on the spread of misinformation and manipulation. However, these are not addressed by chat control, at all. It would require social media platforms to actively do content moderation. At least as much as Twitter did, prior to Musk tearing it down, cutting

@Altismus @DontBlameTheVo1 @signalapp You seem to be blissfully ignorant about misinformation and manipulation being employed by government (as in: all of them) on an industrial scale. Which proves two things: 1. It's a real problem, creating harm. 2. It actually works, for the powers that be.

@Altismus @DontBlameTheVo1 @signalapp the main point of misinformation i see is "i believe the government will not abuse its power". while i admire your optimism, we are talking about a fundamental right. you cannot base a discussion about protecting said right on hope. the correct premise to start this from is "anyone with power to abuse a system to further their own goal, will". and yes we have a myriad of problems in society and you claim ppl need to start thinking for themselves - look how well that's working out for our british friends. now imagine that the state doesn't just scour social media for your "free thinking" but every byte that you send out in the ether. you still think this is a good idea?

@naval @signalapp The problem is that if Chat Control will be enforced, then message scanning will be done before messages are even sent. Meaning even Signal will not be able to bypass it.
