@zy @Tutanota FFS = for fuck's sake.
HOA = homeowners association, a nickname for the folks on fedi who act like they have a duty to police how others post and interact.
It would have been fine to ask nicely and state reasons for requesting changes to alt text. But treating someone like they've committed some offense by not formatting the alt text exactly as you think it should be formatted, when they actually made an effort by including alt text in the first place, is really unwelcoming and hostile.
@Tutanota @EUCommission Understand this: people do not want this and will do whatever it takes to stop it. Here's an example - Tuta is making it clear. And I'm telling you myself: if force has to be used - so be it. Privacy is not something we will give up without a fight.
@Tutanota i dont get that chat control. how does this work with open source messengers, like dunno, where encryption is client side and the server acts as a broker. how in snowdens name can you add a backdoor in there?
especially if you only act as broker with like a protocol that any app could implement.
like, if i encrypt my mail, is a 3 letter agency taking me to blacksite?!
@utf_7 @Tutanota I try to explain that it works something like this:
I use (say) GPG (PGP whatever).
Then I use (say) GMail, (I don't). WHat the government going to do? Fucking Nothing is the answer.
Back Doors like this are used against Massive providers (FaceBook, Gmail, etc) because it casts the Biggest Net and gains the Most communications of/by The Masses. *This Is The Goal*. Minimal Work, Maximum Effect.
These governments aren't in this for security.
No, they do Not care.
@utf_7 @ArtHarg @Tutanota In fact, my friend and I used to trade recipes in PGP long ago JUST to piss off the Feds during US vs Zimmerman
Your bot doesn't even need to actually engrypt anything; just send lie a recipe, or boble verse, or War and Peace one paragraph at a time in ROT13 and someone will freak out.
From my understanding the first point is that it is not allowed then to use those messengers if they do not add clientside scanning.
In addition appstores might need to block those apps in the EU (for sideloading and free appstores: You might then brake the law because those messengers are not allowed anymore). Just my non-legalese understanding of this situation
@Tutanota I have been 3 days deleting all my Meta and Google apps. It's huge!!
Trying out new options for everything
How do I download sign up to Tuta email?
