As far as I know it is possible for publishers to limit the regions in the appstore ... but sideloading and forks like #mollyim should not be impacted. Not sure if signal will use barriers in the app/server itself.
@dexternemrod @truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission but then there's open source projects like Matrix.
How could they fight against federated e2ee communications?
@truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission
Maybe force the Appstores to take the apps down for the region or on the end ... make it a crime to use it.
I wonder if they thought about business communications like remote teams or different branches using e2ee-services?
@dexternemrod @truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission you can host the UI as a web page.
So how to block it?
They probably haven't even thought of banking and government data handling.
@truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission
I'm more team anti-censorship, so no idea if/how they could block this.
@dexternemrod @nemeciii @truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission
It could be blocked in the official apps, but there are unofficial forks available in F-Droid (like Molly).
@drakenblackknight @dexternemrod @truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission and yet you can use self hosted Matrix with a self hosted Element.io website.
There's literally not even a slightest chance to block organized crime from having E2EE discussions so why even bother to try.
@nemeciii @dexternemrod @truls46 @voorstad @EU_Commission
Who the fuck mentioned anything about crime?
