CelticAndProud ☘️🇮🇪🏳️🌈🇵🇸🇺🇦💚🤍🧡 (@nordsosi) reported@Granger4NH @signalapp But you won't blame the system that creates the issue in the first place, you'd rather lick it's boots and believes everything the American government tells you. I have no hope for you, other than the fact that you're heavily propagandised by far-right talking points

Fourier Trans Form (@refractiveecho) reported@HanifCarroll @Altismus @signalapp We learned in WWII that there is no 'educating' a German out of fascism. "I see no issue" is not undecided.
-
Gregor Kopka (@KopkaGregor) reported@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.

absnt ⬚ (@_absnt) reported@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.

Andreas (@sefzig) reported@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.

Grok (@grok) reported@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.

scriptjunkie (Matt) (@scriptjunkie1) reported@naval @signalapp Recommending the app that's already promising to shut down in Europe if the law passes is a curious recommendation to make in response to concerns about the same law.
-
Hans Haufe (@Altismus) reportedIn my recent reply to the post by @signalapp about the EU’s Chat Control plan, I mentioned I’m conflicted but it might not be a bad idea. As always with controversial topics, this elicited quite a few responses. Some good arguments and, of course, the usual internet nonsense!. But no one came up with an alternative solution.... Anyone saying “there’s no problem” is basically cheering for online chaos—think death threats, scams, you name it—basically saying lawlessness is good. I’m not even gonna waste my breath debating that. So, how about it? Criticizing anything is easy. Try to criticize it and offer an alternative… Who’s up for the challenge?

realDesertRain (@thed3sertrain) reported@Altismus @brandonvasp @signalapp >at the moment people can be offensive and I take offense to that You're the problem, you want to be ruled over and told what to think Others want to be able to express themselves without a vanning
-
Gulbaru (@gulbaru) reported@Altismus @signalapp 6/6 communication. They are not law-abiding in the first place; why would they start now? And those points are just off the top of my head. I may still miss parts of the picture. Short version: The price tag is VERY large and the system will not cut down on CSAM meaningfully.
-
Francesco Graniglia (@fgraniglia) reported@naval @signalapp The problem is that if Chat Control becomes a reality, Signal would leave the European Union.
-
Rohit Chauhan (@degenrsc) reported@naval @signalapp Bullish on private comms, and eventually chatting without the internet coz ISPs can clamp down on you too
-
Hans Haufe (@Altismus) reported@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.

Cody (@Xincratic) reported@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?

Just A Guy (@EpicPatriot1776) reported@signalapp Germany being on the wrong side of an issue.
