Defending privacy isn't easy. Those in power always want more access +more info. It's especially hard when emotionally charged args are used to advance surveillance

We expect closed-door negotiations to engage in rhetorical arbitrage--claiming to support privacy by using word games and bespoke definitions--while in practice undermining it.

We must be wary of "new" proposals that allow scanning of "known content" while claiming to protect privacy by proscribing "indiscriminate" surveillance. We must also look out for those that mandate only scanning for “hashed images or videos.” 4/

The reality is that scanning any content before it is encrypted negates the very purpose of encryption and is a dangerous backdoor. No amount of tinkering or word games can change that inescapable reality. 5/

The technical consensus is clear: you can't create a backdoor that only lets the "good guys" in. However they're dressed up, these proposals create cybersecurity loopholes that hackers and hostile nations are eagerly waiting to exploit. 6/

So we remain vigilant & deeply grateful to our allies.
For Signal, Chat Control is an existential threat. If we were *forced* to choose between building surveillance into our services or keeping our integrity, we would choose integrity & leave the market. We hope it never comes to this. 7/

@azonenberg there is only one future for wayland, and it's for all the "protocols" to be stuffed into an adhoc set of libraries and utilities that converges on something vaguely resembling an xserver, except it will never quite get there because it's this massive steaming dump of entropy into the entire linux application ecosystem. something will always implement it wrong, or the versions of the helper libraries wont line up or whatever. the stink will never wash out completely

@aeva the best wayland is 2035 wayland when they've finally got all the bugs ironed out and implemented all the obviously necessary protocols that some core dev decided didn't fit his ideology but then he retired and everyone else went and did what had to be done all along

my hands shake at how shit this all is

if you really hate someone, don't get them a 3D printer, get them into linux

everyone who told me to switch to KDE because wayland is good actually you just have to use the good wayland which is KDE and not gnome? i feel betrayed, and also i now have significant doubts about your attention to detail and general observational skills
