@echo_pbreyer

The demonization of lesser known services such as TOR or even Signal is the least of our concerns here. They're treating any element of communication or privacy as a type of risk. That categorically violates the CFR.

I wouldn't talk about encryption as if it is merely a safety measure either. Data encryption puts privacy into practice just like asking s.o. to keep distance, closing the door or sending an enclosed letter does.

@wrack You are right, but in the political debate safety is often a better argument than privacy.

@Patrick Breyer Würde ich mir unter den Umständen einen Messenger ohne Client-side-scanning installieren, wäre das für Nutzer strafbar oder müsste sogar das Betriebssystem so angepasst werden, dass die Installation freier Apps unterbunden wird?

@roere Nein, das bleibt erlaubt. Problem nur: Deine Kontakte und Gruppen werden meist bei ihrem Messenger bleiben.
