You need to mark sarcasm with /s.

If this is not a joke: the US has the worst privacy protection laws on this planet. Laws in China are almost better. And ironically the worst laws for freedom aswell. There is a reason why we have the GDPR laws in the EU that prohibits any user data transfer to US servers.

But surely somebody is proposing this. And it's not an entity. It's a person.

Am I the only one that hates third-party clients for Desktop? They all have terrible UI and UX. Firefox + UBlock + Youtube is the way to go. For the phone it's NewPipe or Grayjay.

Telegram is not private at all. Nothing is encrypted except Secret Chat.

Isn't the US already a surveillance country?

The KDE would need to intercept every single message from start to finish because of forward secrecy. Mass surveillance of such sort would have been noticed by now, even if only 0.01% of people check their safety number with QR code or manual confirmation.

MITM attacks on specific high-level targets would be still possible of course. But if you consider yourself a high-level target outside of mass surveillance you can just check your safety number before initiating a conversation. Because of forward secrecy, you only need to check that once!

But all of that aside, Telegram has none of these things. Telegram is straight-up unencrypted with their default chats and group chats. Telegram is absolute dogshit.

This is completely unrelated.

Besides, how does AI suddenly become sentient?

Good. Competition is good.

"Some data"? It has all the data to their exposal. Child pornography and othe, crimes are rampant there. They are doing nothing against it for years. And when you don't even answer mail from officials then you're to get arrested at some point. This has nothing to do with private communication or chat control. It's completely unrelated.

Well you don't even seem to know that the Swizz is not part of the EU. And by being arrested in Spain confirms my point.

Did you know they use the Signal protocol? So literally the same encryption scheme?

Besides, the military isn't smarter than 30 universities independently confirming the security.
