Lmfao that’s funny, IRC is the oldest of them all.

The CIA financed Signal (I believe they stopped a few years ago), however that was never really secret. It also happened in simpler times, in the earlier days of internet and mobile phones. In general it’s quite plausible that the CIA just wanted a really secure comms system that people they wanted to undermine regimes could use.

Contrast this with how the FBI and the Australian feds bankrolled Anomphones, which they then used to read the communications of criminals. That was kept secret until they were ready to brag about it.

Trump needs to realise he really doesn’t have the cards.

But when AI recognition is more likely to flag human posts than those written by AI, how do they expect to enforce this?

Edit: does Engadget not proof read anything?

The act has to pass a vote in a Republican-led House, and the Senate jsd to develop and pass an equivalent bill before the two bodies of Congress

Unfortunately many services block protonmail by default, or mark it as junk. Hopefully this will change.

SMS is itself metadata, they use the spare bits in the voice data steam.

The European Digital Rights organization suggested in a blog post that the full contents of this report was intentionally suppressed, pointing to a 2016 academic paper by two Commission officials. The paper, “Movie Piracy and Displaced Sales in Europe,” only mentioned the part of the Ecory report that highlights the relationship between piracy and blockbuster film lost sales, and excluded the other findings of the report. Additionally, the paper didn’t even disclose that the cited information came from Ecory’s study.

This is really damning. They didn’t publish the study, then misrepresented it and only cited the small comment that agreed with their bias.

Noooo, keep SMS and use it for some, unimportant things, so that they don’t start focusing on other platforms.
