Signal's CEO: Then We're Leaving Sweden | Sweden Herald
-
The Swedish politicians tried adding backdoors to encrypted apps for at least 20 years
I don't really understand why they still (ever) think it is a good idea -
Neither.
I elaborated on my reasons on a comment above.
It's also called critical thinking for me, which means I don't get influenced by whatever the new scandal in the fediverse is for who is a bad guy, and I try to think for myself.
Being a security engineer I also think to possess some competencies when it comes to understand technical setup and topics like encryption, so again, I don't take other people opinions (possibly unqualified) as gospel.That said, I have specifically listed some points to back my own side, disagreeing with those (which would be nice to elaborate on) doesn't make other people PR bots or corporate fanboys. This is a mental shortcut to avoid challenging your own opinion IMHO.
I am not suggesting everyone here is a google shill aiming to sabotage valid competitors, for example. -
If y'all are expecting (and relying on) legal businesses to tell police raiding their offices to fuck off, then you clearly don't understand secops.

The problem is that politicians don't understand cyber security, whta their asking is basically the equivalent of closing the front door of a house and leaving the backdoor open. It was already proven to be a bad idea, eternalblue is a good example.

How dare you go against the lemmy hive mind. We need to shit on Proton or you will be punished with negative numbers!
-
Wow. The mental gymnastics earn you a gold medal, congrats. Good luck to you.
-
you will be punished with negative numbers!
Thanks for making me chuckle.

"no reason"
Some people are just genuinely fucking stupid.

Hello there, fellow Internet old-timer!
-
Alright, so you don't actually have anything to say.
I guess that can happen with that definition of "critical thinking".
-
I couldn't agree more.
-
I have plenty, but the internet taught me not to feed trolls
-
Mental shortcut to again avoid critical thinking.
Nothing in my comment indicates trolling. Unlike you, who dropped in with a paternalistic and insulting comment, I have elaborated every single point in good faith.
However, you decided to take yet another mental shortcut and call it "mental gymnastic", because either you can't be bothered to, you are unable to, or unwilling to defend your own opinion.I will leave it at that. Hopefully you can "critically think" and draw your own conclusion about whose behavior is closer to that of a troll.

Can't argue with your experience in the matter, that's for sure.

Its them just being idiots, like illegal activities will kedp going using old good pgp, and normies will get spied by political shit, as always..no privacy for honest people.

Can't argue
with your experience in the matter, that's for sure.FTFY
Now this has been fun, but since you decided to ignore everything I said when I thought a conversation was hard but possible, you demonstrated to lack knowledge of the subject (that "it's just a tax thing" was chef's kiss) and now you flipped the table, I will close it here from my end.

It's relevant because Switzerland is not Sweden, and thus Swedish laws do not apply to Swiss companies...
-
The news is about a proposed law in Sweden, not Switzerland.
-
ISP blocking, probably not, but yes ISPs can block Signal by blocking all known Signal servers. Thatās why Signal supports special proxies that allow individuals to run to a
The US as of now is not threatening to kill end-to-end encryption.
-
If they go after encryption in earnest there's not going to be any room for secops left.
