@walkinglampshade @jrredho @fj It's basic #InfoSec, really:

Thus #Signal fails at protevting #Journalists and theor sources because they do have that data and can be #subopena'd for it if they don't already provide #BulkSurveillance & #LawfulInterception #API|s to comply with #CloudAct. (Or are you guys so naive and believe @Mer__edith will risk dying of old age in jail for non-paying users?)

  • This entire "thread vector" just doesn't exist with #XMPP+#OMEMO nor #PGP/MIME!

And if you believe "this won't ne used/abused me because I'm from 'Murica!" and point at #ANØM as an example, then you really ignored all tze #Cyberfacism since 9/11…

@GrapheneOS @thomas @wonka Also I think the issues usually outweigh the benefits - at least when we look at individuals & devices owned by consumers vs. corporate #ITsec where locking down devices is seen as desireable!

  • It should be the sole discretion of the devices' owners whether or not such a feature should be used or accessible and it shpuld be disallowed to coerce people into "consenting" under threat of denied access.

Because for every "#LegitimateInterest" (i.e. #2FA #Authenticator) I can find a dozen reasons this "functionaloty" should be discontinued and considered malware.
