What if a state tries to mandate us as #deltachat app devs/distributors to shut down a chat profile?

Nothing. It can't be done.

We have no list of chat identities, have no handle or data about them, and don't mediate the message transfer.

However, EU #Chatcontrol politicians and Russian authorities would want us to insert backdoors into our FOSS code. But that is nothing than can happen overnight, and we are fine with friendly forks already. Resilient private internet communication ftw :)

This is a story EFF was made for.

Collective punishment is a war crime.

Forced displacement is ethnic cleansing.

Intentionally bombing safe zones is genocide.

And remaining silent on all of the above is complicity.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk. Now Stop The Genocide.

We increasingly hear about China travellers who use #deltachat successfully where Whatsapp and Signal fail to work. Recently a family onboarded including a 85 old mother, to prepare for China travel. Everbody succeeded, no troubles!

#deltachat is all about resiliency and "just works" user experiences. Despite ongoing and prospective network blocking attempts, our apps manage to mitigate and remain working everywhere. Meanwhile we are preparing some next level resiliency/security features ;)
