I remember some debates in my country (Germany) back then about first-person shooter games where they also claimed, that possible terrorists are using them to ‘train’ on it.
Turns out it was bullshit. So from what we know, we know nothing. We know for sure, that this topic is a growth medium for virtue signalling, which usually isn’t a great advisor.
Signed.
What is actually going on with denmark? What is their problem with privacy? Have they always been like that?
Don’t get tired. They will absolutely come again.

Choose wisely: Do you want privacy or access to information?
Protip: Download a wikipedia dump via kiwix. Just in case.
Nice. A chinese app used by german government. That really hurts.
And later, they’ll be probably fighting against their own people. Unbelievable.

They probably want to start introducing an encryption called “AES-lawful”, which is SUPER SAFE (but law enforcement has access of course…).
Well, as long as other algorithms are not forbidden, I will continue using them.
When it comes to chat control, we will have to setup own matrix servers (or something similar).
This whole “Going dark”-thing is bullshit.
Upvote for MetaGer. Pricing is ok and the service privacy-friendly. Would still love to see an independent index though.
Did my part. This is madness.
