@echo_pbreyer Makes me feel proud to be a Dutch citizen, but I’ll send them another e-mail nonetheless just as a reminder why we should still be against it.

@echo_pbreyer Sad to see the government of my country continuing with the support for this madness (in the process there was even a change of the party in power).
I guess, overall, our political class is too illiterate to properly understand all the implications of such a thing. They seem to rely solely on stated intentions, and nobody ever showed any interest in discussing the subject.

Each and every chat application seem subjected to the #evil, #dystopian #chatcontrol.
Is there any way to protect our #privacy? Can #FreeAsInDesktop or #selfhosting software be helpful?
In that case which? #matrix? #Jami? Something else?

@paoloredaelli @echo_pbreyer federated xmpp likely? #paolo builds #overresharingly
Show threadDiogo ConstantinoAug 3, 2025

@paoloredaelli the criteria to which it might apply, may one day also apply to instances of chat services, other than yous, and your instance may be federated with the instance to which it applies, because you chat with people from that instance, and therefore, at least some of conversations will still be spied.

@DiogoConstantino
Rightful. I was thinking about it and I think it is necessary for #XMPP and #Matrix to implement a "the privacy of this server/account is compromised" flag to deal with people using #taintedClients
Given the richness of the #Xmpp extensions I won't be surprised to discover it is a problem already dealt with.

@paoloredaelli @echo_pbreyer this is not a protocol issue. It's an application issue.

@echo_pbreyer is there an official EU petition opposing the project that we could sign? I think that would be rather useful in this context.
