@signalapp Germany above all should have a very comprehensive understanding what a terrible idea mass surveillance is. I don't understand how this can even be a debate in Germany.

@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.

@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?

@naval @signalapp The problem is that if Chat Control will be enforced, then message scanning will be done before messages are even sent. Meaning even Signal will not be able to bypass it.

@HanifCarroll @signalapp I really don’t mind it. They’re proving my exact point about the problems with the internet. Most of them ignored that I said I’m conflicted and just pointed out a benefit of it, then went straight into nonsense responses. The problem of privacy and anonymity on the internet is extremely complex and not solvable with a simple “yes” or “no.” There are many reasons privacy should be protected, but there are also many reasons it shouldn’t. The answer is simply not that simple. In my view, the biggest problem is proven here: there’s no polite debate anymore. It’s just hateful name-calling and threats—very small-minded, “you’re either with us or against us.” I try not to hate people, even if their opinions seem utterly, utterly stupid or dangerous. I still try to respect them because, in a democracy, if an idea is truly stupid or dangerous, it won’t gain support. This is the bigger problem of our times: manipulation and influence through threats or clever, superficial one-line arguments that appeal to the masses. These are then massively distributed via sponsored posts and the like. While I’m conflicted about privacy, I’m absolutely certain that advertising and marketing should be completely banned from the internet. People have stopped thinking for themselves and are just repeating what they see or read.

@brandonvasp @signalapp I would turn that around—why not? The problem here is how it’s going to be used, and therein lies the issue. At the moment, people can post the most vile or stupid content pretty much without consequence. This is a problem. Think about it: would any of these people go to, say, a shopping center and say the exact same things? No, very unlikely. I’m reminded of LAN parties I used to organize about ten years ago for younger kids. Two of them would get into it on the website’s forum, hurling insults at each other. So, I did some tinkering in the system and, without them knowing, sat them right next to each other at the LAN party itself. During the LAN party weekend, they pretty much became the best of friends. On Sunday, at the end of the weekend, I asked them, “Do you know each other’s online nicknames?” They said they didn’t, so I asked them to share their nicknames. When they realized who the other was, their faces dropped, and some awkward apologies and babbling about “sorry, didn’t mean it” followed. This is one of the biggest problems on the internet these days: anonymity. Because you can say pretty much whatever your brain farts out—things you would never, ever say in person. Of course, there are exceptions, but back in the day, we had those too. Remember the people who would stand on the street on little podiums, announcing the end of the world? No one batted an eye.

@Altismus @brandonvasp @signalapp No, that’s really not the problem. The problem is the platforms unwillingness to moderate. Believe me you’re not gonna like govt surveillance.

@InNtrBl6gNs2WXZ @signalapp Encryption in applications cannot go down to the hardware level. The encryption applied is on data in transit over the communication channel and on data at rest. This at least ensures that internet service providers and Signal servers cannot read the messages +

@Altismus @signalapp 1/2 I share your concern on the spread of misinformation and manipulation. However, these are not addressed by chat control, at all. It would require social media platforms to actively do content moderation. At least as much as Twitter did, prior to Musk tearing it down, cutting

@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.

@Altismus @signalapp 2/6 you, if you are surveiled 24/7, do not know what might get you in trouble, who to trust. 2) Mission creep. Once chat control infrastructure is in place, it will not stay at CASM scan. Next comes terror. Drugs. Gangs. What about Anti-Christianity? 3) Use by others. The

@Altismus @signalapp That’s the usual and an understandable justification. But please take some time to think 2 steps ahead and you will notice that a lack of privacy will have far bigger detrimental effects than what you are trying to fix.
