Saying it again here: The only infrastructure we can trust is our own.
Even if there are still a number of services that are strongly above average trustworthy, they are ALL under attack in multiple "free" countries.

Hello ChatControl ๐
Seriously again a ridiculous law... This is a pure non-sense, in theory you should be afraid, in the reality such a law wouldn't be applied by Signal for example, and you would find alternative to these backdoored apps, such as SimpleX or others... BUT we need to fight against it, it's a big no go for future privacy! Keep fighting and fuck these guys!
Note : Even if Tuta is concerned it wouldn't change much... Today gmail is more than 70% of emails so in this case the privacy is equal to 0. Email is not secured at the foundation and with google in the equation, it's hard to fight against
I posted more lenthy comments on the other communities. Here I'll say this:
When it comes to backdoors to security, there are no good guys. Zero.
At this point let's just go back to manually using command line GPG/PGP.
At that point, they just activate the Intel ME and AMD PSP.
We need open source hardware.
Let's go RISC-V!
of course they are. capitalism would eventually use the surveillance tech they consistently pushed to surveil. its just that they probably thought they didnt need to before, and now they do. so we are now like frogs still boiling in a pot.
