@naval @signalapp The problem is that if Chat Control becomes a reality, Signal would leave the European Union.

@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 @signalapp Not all anonymous individuals are bad Some folks value their anonymity because they understand even if they are upstanding citizens, governments would find a way to have a problem with it If the government doesn’t trust its people why do you think the people should trust it?

@naval @signalapp Bullish on private comms, and eventually chatting without the internet coz ISPs can clamp down on you too

@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

@signalapp Germany above all should have a very comprehensive understanding what a terrible idea mass surveillance is. I don't understand how this can even be a debate in Germany.

@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.

@potuz_eth @signalapp Blockchain aren’t built for that use case, they’d do a terrible job at it. Messaging doesn’t need a global shared state.

@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 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 @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.
