Would Signal be affected by this?
If yes, what’s the move: Matrix or self host my own chat for my family?
next move? next thing you know, vpn and secure encryption will be banned per se for ordinary citizens.
its all for the kids while UK+EU trade with the pedo king.... biggest bullshit ever
Idk how they could scan e2e encrypted messages
But yeah, if they got their wish it would. More likely, signal would withdraw from Europe.
«As per its first version, all messaging software providers would be required to perform indiscriminate scanning of private messages to look for CSAM – so-called 'client-side scanning'. The proposal was met with a strong backlash, and the European Court of Human Rights ended up banning all legal efforts to weaken encryption of secure communications in Europe.«
This is about introducing legislation to force messengers to scan / give them access to your chats on your device before encryption / after decryption. Afaik, Signal have already announced they would "pull out of Europe" in this case, however that would look.
This being the case, how can they try to reintroduce the legislation?
It says in the article
