lie
We have the tweet, the context, his direct statements saying he didn't. You have your own interpretation.

lie
Quoting an incomplete sentence is peak bad faith.
Please, elaborate on how they can backdoor the email communication without the change be visible in the clients. Take a proton to proton communication, and show me how they can backdoor the PGP encryption.
I will propose 2 ways:- maliciously patch the JS code of the webmail client, which will show the change in the browser, network communications etc.
- simply backdoor the client which will make it visible in the repo.
Didn't work on you
Because they didn't do anything that indicates they are violating my privacy. If they would, I would redirect my domain and drop them in a blink of an eye.
Straw man
It's not a strawman lol. Pointing out the fact that it's not evident what the advantage would be is an actual argument against saying that they would backdoor the software in compliance with trump's wishes.
Asking what the benefit is for such an immoral and illegal action seems reasonable to me?being a non profit and him owning enough of it to do what he wants are unrelated
False. He gave away his stocks of the for profit company, which is now controlled by the nonprofit where he is 1 out of 5 (or 6?) In the board.
A decision like this realistically will need to be approved by the board.
Explain how he "owns enough to do what he wants" please.Tell that french activist they turned logging on for and gave up to the authorities.
what would you expect any organization could do in that position? If there is a culprit there, it is the government.
Complying with legal orders (which BTW they are transparent about and they challenge lots of them too) is a requirement for a company to operate.
There are 2 cases that I know of so far (in the other they have been forced to give all the data they had about a user, and the only data they gave was a recovery email address), and they are 100% expected. Unless you want to be a rogue organization, there is nothing you can do in those cases.
This if anything is a good test that shows how little data they collect or have.
Unfortunately for logs of VPN connection there is no technical solution that will ever prevent from logging data again (mullvad is now experimenting with a double tunnel, but that is just a small nuisance for law enforcement), like there is for encryption (I.e., encryption happened with keys we cannot retrieve, sorry can't help you). -
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. That’s 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.
