India first democracy to ban encrypted messaging apps on massive scale.

Only days before Press Freedom Day, India banned apps for secure communication because of "terrorists" use.

🚨 🇮🇳 banning clients like is equivalent to banning your favorite web browser or email client.

🤯 Can you imagine if Firefox, Chrome, or Thunderbird were banned nationally?

🔑 Privacy is a human right.

➡️ And governments will never stop human rights abuses by denying its citizens' human rights.

:boost_love: Pass it on.

I believe cooler heads will prevail in this situation though. I hope!

I hope the UN can make it work but the federated decentralised approach makes sense. The United Nations ditches Big Tech in a bid for security | TechRadar

United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) has selected #Element as its #secure communications platform, following a competitive #tender process.

Element stood out as a digitally sovereign platform which offers end-to-end #encryption. Its ability to be #federated to support multiple organisations was also a key factor in the #selection process.

#UNICC will self-host Element through an Element Enterprise subscription.

End-to-end encryption; the will of the British people

https://element.io/blog/end-to-end-encryption-the-will-of-the-british-people/

Ideally, this section would introduce a guarantee that this type of notice would not be imposed on providers of end-to-end encrypted communications. Instead it relies on questionable concepts such as “accredited technology” to wistfully wave some form of assurance that ‘this sort of thing’ is technically possible and it’ll all be fine, secure and appropriate.

Be under no illusion; “accredited technology” is no more reassuring than a lock which can be opened by a skeleton key.

It’s this aspect of the Online Safety Bill - the potential for undermining of end-to-end encryption - that we refute as completely flawed. It is not possible to have both secure communications and blanket surveillance, in the same way you cannot “have your cake and eat it.”

With a unified crypto library, we simplify development, speed up deployment, and ensure consistent security measures across all clients.

This milestone marks a significant step in our journey.

Join us in celebrating this achievement, and looking forward to even more exciting developments ahead! 🎉

I'm trying to replace as a daily client because not only it is one of the featured clients with beautiful and consistent UI, but also I've been really fed up with governance of vector-im, to which I had essentially provided just free labor.

If you like a simple UI centered on text based communication without a bunch of features such as widget and thread, cinny should be a better choice than Element, though the client seems to lack basic features like permalink.

Pour que la tragédie des communs liés à Matrix n'en soit plus une, les serveurs d'implémentation de référence de Matrix passent sous license AGPLv3 🎉🎉

Ainsi, les modifications du code source des serveurs devront être publiées sous la même license auprès de leurs utilisateur·ices, donc du monde entier.

India blocks 14 apps including , @briar, threema, imo etc

"While tracking down one of the communication, agencies found that the mobile application does not have representatives in India and it is difficult to track down activities happening on the app".

This is a dangerous precedent and opens the door to ban any app/service not having a presence in India. We should challenge this order in the Supreme Court.

HELP!
Our Matrix server and/or Element client just doesn't seem to invite people to rooms, properly. Is there anyone out there with a LOT of matrix experience who can help us figure this out? It's been a problem for months, and delays a really interesting project;
