I put peepee in the doodoofard.

If you say so.

Yeah? I'm not most people.

Naw, I found your mom's room just fine.

You're irrelevant IN the big picture, at least with that attitude. Defeatism is everywhere and prevents grassroots movements and is the sign of a weak spirit. I refuse that attitude and stick to the merits of a concept, rather than falling back on a logical fallacy like appeal to majority. Stop doing that, because that's how you get subjugated, that's how change is prevented, that is how those in power and influence remain in power and influence. Be the change you want to see.

EDIT: but yes, i was lost, as i thought i was answering to a comment in my inbox, but I did also find @[email protected] mom - and boy did I meet those potatoes, lemme tell ya.

True, but if you lose your keys you're sort of screwed anyways. But yeah, forward secrecy ftw.

The wOrLd GuBmInTs is such a huge umbrella that it must mean it'll rain the Atlantic Ocean.

WESTERN GOVERNMENTS are allowed to go against privacy and encryption because of stupid Karen's screaming "won't somebody please think of the children" and old fops going "basically terrorists" and not a single one of them have considered the decentralisation principle as an actual barrier, because their constituency allows it, because their constituency is technically illiterate.

EASTERN GOVERNMENTS are largely authoritarian. Sorry, world, but I'm not in the mood to piss about here.

THE GLOBAL SOUTH gets bundled together as well, because no one there has the resources to actually prevent the spread of encryption software, much to the shegrin of western governments, who tried to sanction that shit, but got overridden by people who took a plane ride with aa USB stick.

Again, PGP over email is still unbreakable and can be used as well, incl with private email servers, or even Matrix servers. You don't need Telegram or Signal. The "whose next" problem relies on the idea that you and I are the only people who know of these problems, and that's kind of arrogant.

M'buru Ufufu is on that plane right now, with tons of encryption software on a USB stick, the UN be damned. UMA LELE, UMA LELE~!

Elder millennial, you little brat.

Yeah. A lot of people use Facebook and TikTok too, yet here we are on Lemmy. How many users are there here?

It's not a fight, it's logic. The world governments can do nothing to OpenWhisperSystems (the makers of Signal), because they don't store any communication.

Telegram however thought they were smart, by storing data and splitting that data up in to several different pieces around the world, assuming governments wouldn't collude together to get it.

But they didn't foresee the litigious nature of nation states, and that's what we're seeing now. If these nation states also start to collude with one another, everyone who thought they were safe are gonna get fucked.

Signal does not store any communication data. They only facilitate handshake between clients and the clients manage the data between themselves.

This is why Telegram isn't safe, but Signal is.
