Delta Chat

Denmark and other EU governments still pursue #chatcontrol.

They still want to permanently legalize client-side scanning but postponed making it mandatory.

They also want to increase age-verification controls which risk to ruin what little is left of privacy in current digital spaces, taken hostage already by US corps.

Ourselves? We double down on providing the most private, reliable and fun messaging experience, with a growing federating #chatmail relay network across the globe.

"this law will ban minors from installing apps like WhatsApp..."

What?
I am not a fan of WhatsApp, I use signal, but if such a law bans minors from WhatsApp and pushes all end-to-end-crypted messangers out of europe that would mean that no citizen under 18 is allowed to use a messanger service?
Because all alternatives are even more dangerous than WhatsApp and would fall under the same ban.

So SMS is all they have left, or what?

Looks like the EU is rapidly digging it own grave.

Who wants an Orwellian society except for Fascists or extreme right.

@delta Is deltachat now considering state threat actors part of their threat model?

If someone wants to hide that they own a chatmail relay from their government what would be the simplest way to do that?

@delta I like the idea of deltachat, but I want it to connect to my own mail server, so I'm waiting for that.

@venelles You can already use your own mail server. On the first screen click "Create new profile", then "Use other server" and then "Classic email login". There you can enter email address and password of an email account to use it for sending and receiving chat messages. We recommend using a separate inbox (email address) for chatting and not the same that you use for "slow" email, but otherwise using your own mail server is fully supported.
