@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.

@Altismus @signalapp That’s the usual and an understandable justification. But please take some time to think 2 steps ahead and you will notice that a lack of privacy will have far bigger detrimental effects than what you are trying to fix.

@ratamahata2000 @PawelEdi @signalapp Nothing will help if chat control is implemented as it will collect the data before encryption on the OS level Also EU has other rules which requires brands to lock the ability to install custom ROM to phones if they want to continue to sell phones in EU

@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.

@DontBlameTheVo1 @signalapp Yes, that’s the danger, but where you assume the government will use it wrongly, I still have some hope left in the system. In a democracy, if many people disagree, then the bill won’t pass. That’s possibly what we should really be battling: the spread of misinformation and manipulation. Ironically, to do that, we need to consider what’s acceptable in terms of internet privacy and what isn’t, which completes the circle and makes this such a complex topic. I agree with most of what you say. As long as governments can use marketing, manipulation, and so forth to steer public opinion, no matter what we do, this is the more urgent issue to fix. But it can only be fixed if people start thinking for themselves again and start forming their own opinions.

@signalapp I have tried Signal multiple times but it has severe problems. Messages at times would get delivered the next day.

@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.

@signalapp The only answer is non-compliance. Do not pull from the market. Double down and do not comply.

@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?

@signalapp If you own a social media platform, you will have to find ways to get your platform to be used by people, then you have to maintain it, so you will have to generate revenue and that starts to cause problems with users. There is a new way that is to use a decentralized messaging platform. This platform is not owned by anyone, there is no centralized server, no money needed to maintain operation, no algorithm to guide users,... Decentralized messaging platform @kasiamessaging Decentralized social networking platform @ReLeomerda

@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?

@signalapp @Rombbb_Gaming This also disabled signal on my old Mac, which can't be updated to the newer MacOS that your forced updated software demands. Shamefully stupid error.

@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.
