@erebion @pixelschubsi @inaruck Ja, weil das Teil soviele #Govware - #Backdoors hat dass es als unsicher gelten muss!
@erebion @inaruck es gibt soviele Gründe weshalb Mensch nicht @signalapp vertrauen sollte.
Aber um es nochnal klar zu erklären:
#Signal verlangt #Telefonnummer = #PII (Persönlich identifizierbare Informationen). [Und nein, sich irgendwo zwielichtig ne Nummer als Ausrede greift nicht!]
Signal ist zentralisiert & #SingleVendor sowie #SingleProvider!
Signal fällt wegen Sitz in den #USA unter #CloudAct = inhärent mit #DSGVO & #BDSG inkompatibel!
Signal erlaubt keine #SelfCustody aller Keys und ist deshalb für Einige Angriffsmethoden offen!
Nur echte #Dezentralisierung wie bei #XMPP+#OMEMO kann #Datenschutz, #Informationssicherheit und #Vertraulichkeit sicherstellen.
Die strukturellen Probleme von Signal machen es angesichts einer #gleichgeschaltet|en #USA ein absolut unnötiges #Risiko, denn ich garantiere @Mer__edith wird für keine*n User*in lebenslange #Beugehaft riskieren!
Und #Signal ist sehr wohl in der Lage #Govware - #Backdoors zu integrieren, denn sonst wären die wegen #ITAR bereits geknastet worden, weil diese #Nutzer*innen aus #Kuba, #Nordkorea und #Russland haben!
USpol, trade, tariffs, Trump
@Lazarou #Tariffs are always at the point of import - never at the point of export!
Like for real, if I were "P.R." #China or #Mexico or #Canada I'd rather give #Trump the finger than let him decide what products to export at which cost and to whom.
We can see that play out with the #ShadowFleet that subverts the #PriceCap for #Oil from #Russia because the #EU was too cowardly to enact a #TotalEmbargo against #Putin & his regime!
@lucasmz @Avitus @david_chisnall the benefit of #XMPP+#OMEMO is that there are several providers, including free options...
All #PII incl. #PhoneNumbers can and will be abused by existing governments and if users don't pay, then they are the product and their data is the one to be sold.
After all, you have the same cost problem with phone numbers. Even if one doesn't pay per line/number and never pay for calls and texts, they still have to top it up to extent validity.
Plus you relying an unfixably insecure #Telephony makes a system inherently unsafer than it needs to be...
Also #Signal is able and willing to use said PII to restrict and ban users and if I were some dissident in Cuba or North Korea or even just Eritrea or Yemen I'd not rely on non-enforcement of #OFAC / #USML / #ITAR since Signal can obviously distinguish & identify accounts by virgue if their #PhoneNumber!
@anelki cuz if #Signal and/or #WhatsApp actually had good encryption, they'd be shutdown due to #NonCompliance with #CloudAct and their staff would be jailed for #ITAR violations...
If I use RSA-128 to generate the keys for AES-256 then it's technically E2EE but even the worst-equipped police force can read the comms basically in realtime!
Hey US nationals: the government is considering changes to ITAR that will harm international students, and possibly all of amateur rocketry (model and high power.)

@mysk that's because #Apple has introduced varios #Govware - #Backdoors in their products.
Otherwise it would be illegal to own, import, sell or use #iPhone|s and other Devices in the "P.R." #China, #Russia, #SaudiArabia / #KSA & #India and it would be illegal to #export #macOS & #iOS as per #ITAR!
Also #iCloud is evidently #backdoored on purpose: Otherwise they would.not have been able to serve their chinese users on a silver platter to Beijing!
@cody The fact that #GAFAMs and other #Corporations that commited illegal #Espionage (#PRISM) and/or imtegrated #Govware #Backdoors (i.e. #DUAL_EC_DRBG) ain't #denylisted by @bsi for useage and/or procurement by the German Government and Public Institutions and banned from their premises and networks is undue leniency.
Or would @Bundesregierung literally expect anything but a blanket ban against entire German companies if they were to ship some #ITAR / #Wassenaar / #NPT "compliance check" in their systems when sold to the USA?
Not to mention the #NonCompliance of #Windows, #MicrosoftOffice, #Office365 / #Mcirosoft365, #GoogleDocs, etc. with #GDPR & #BDSG due to #CloudAct...
@PC_Fluesterer Und wenn nicht wird wie im #Cyberfaschismis dann halt der "#Export" per #ITAR verboten, weil #SSL und #PGP sind pöse sicher... ^
Merke: Wenn's in den #RICS (#Russland, #Indien, "V.R." #China, #SaudiArabien) legal ist und aus den #USA exportiert wurde, dann nur weil's #Malware ist oder anderweitig dienlich ist.
Grundsätzlich haben alle entsprechenden #Govware-Integraten bei mir 3x solange #Hausverbot wie es dauert bis diese sich entschuldingen bzw. 2x solange wie's dauert bis die das Problem systemisch fixen.
Egal of #PRISM, #DUAL_EC_DRBG, oder was auch immer...
@quincy @thomasjorgensen @lobingera @glynmoody in fact didn't they try countless times to force shit that noone wants onto people, from #Passkeys to removing the #URL to "#WebIntegrityFramework" aka. mandatory #ads that one can't disable...
Let's not forget #Google - like all #GAFAMs - was a #PRISM collaborator, is subject to #CliudAct and #ITAR and thus not only capable but able and willing beyond the legally mandated minimums to do so.
DON'T TRUST GOOGLE - or anyone!
