Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 13:35:44 @signalapp @Mer__edith theoretically speaking, what would you do in case of the US government putting pressure on Signal to weaken encryption or removing the app from the App Stores of several countries in case the current administration pushes you to it? Would Signal change jurisdiction to another country? |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 21:22:18 @brayd @signalapp We will never weaken encryption, add a backdoor, bow or scrape, etc. We would rather shut down or leave a market. Our position does not change based on jurisdiction. |

Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 21:25:00 @Mer__edith thanks for clarification! Happy to see Signal is keeping their values even with these political changes going on. |

Föderation NL Do 06.02.2025 21:34:21 @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp Just today our board of directors asked me if its ok by the Ciso to use signal. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 21:41:32 Thank you. If you have the patience, I know many would welcome your thoughts on this: Signal is increasingly recommended as a good implementation of encrypted comms. However, we have seen state and para-state organisations attack people's phones (not the encryption, the phone ) using tools like Pegasus. It is no longer rare. Today we know it is happening to lawyers, journalists, activists, NGOs.. Is there any advice on protecting your phone from such spyware? |

Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 21:41:58 @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp Thank you! I don't think there is a single app on my phone I appreciate more than Signal. Especially now. |

Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 21:42:35 @Mer__edith @brayd the bar is so low yet so few can clear it as @signalapp does. |

Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 21:49:43 @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp But to continue hosting Signal on a server in the USA is still a risk. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 22:25:56 @TuutW @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp they can move server jurisdiction. Reincorporate the company in a better country. There are ways and means if required... Posting from #uk where our head of counterterrorism just threatened to take down secure messengers again... |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 22:29:01 @TuutW @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp Been pondering the same. Maybe Canada is nice this time of the year? |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 23:39:28 @sintrenton @TuutW @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp Sadly posing that question would seem to indicate you haven't been following Canadian politics in the last 6mos π |

Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 23:47:26 @deirdrebeth @TuutW @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp Ouch, yeah I heard something, but few details. Then again, we have the same crap here. Denmark's "Silent Majority" party DPP has been dwindling, but the "chinos fash" in Swedish parliament are second largest party. |

Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 21:59:35 @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp president of signal is a woman. So many levels of wins to this. How did I not know sooner. The best surprise. |

Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 22:20:25 @ErickaSimone @Mer__edith @signalapp yes, she's awesome and much appreciated in the tech world! |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 22:21:00 @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp I love it! But 'never' is a hard word. They might say, it's an extremistic view, call it irresponsible, pedo or terrorist. ... |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 22:25:41 @chbmeyer well, yes, decentralised alternatives will always be there and censorship resistant for the most part. However, I think it's very good that Signal exists for less technical users. I just hope it will keep existing. |
|
Föderation EN Do 06.02.2025 22:32:12 @chbmeyer @Mer__edith @brayd @signalapp Yeah, I still keep my OpenPGP/GnuPG keys and CLI in a Veracrypt file, just in case.. |
