• According to Whittaker, the bill requires the encrypted messaging app Signal to install so-called backdoors in the software.

    lie

    We have the tweet, the context, his direct statements saying he didn’t. You have your own interpretation. See also https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e

    so it’s not possible to add backdoor

    lie

    Quoting an incomplete sentence is peak bad faith. Please, elaborate on how they can backdoor the email communication without the change be visible in the clients. Take a proton to proton communication, and show me how they can backdoor the PGP encryption. I will propose 2 ways:

    • maliciously patch the JS code of the webmail client, which will show the change in the browser, network communications etc.
    • simply backdoor the client which will make it visible in the repo.

    Didn’t work on you

    Because they didn’t do anything that indicates they are violating my privacy. If they would, I would redirect my domain and drop them in a blink of an eye.

    Straw man

    It’s not a strawman lol. Pointing out the fact that it’s not evident what the advantage would be is an actual argument against saying that they would backdoor the software in compliance with trump’s wishes. Asking what the benefit is for such an immoral and illegal action seems reasonable to me?

    being a non profit and him owning enough of it to do what he wants are unrelated

    False. He gave away his stocks of the for profit company, which is now controlled by the nonprofit where he is 1 out of 5 (or 6?) In the board. A decision like this realistically will need to be approved by the board. Explain how he “owns enough to do what he wants” please.

    Tell that french activist they turned logging on for and gave up to the authorities.

    what would you expect any organization could do in that position? If there is a culprit there, it is the government. Complying with legal orders (which BTW they are transparent about and they challenge lots of them too) is a requirement for a company to operate. There are 2 cases that I know of so far (in the other they have been forced to give all the data they had about a user, and the only data they gave was a recovery email address), and they are 100% expected. Unless you want to be a rogue organization, there is nothing you can do in those cases. This if anything is a good test that shows how little data they collect or have. Unfortunately for logs of VPN connection there is no technical solution that will ever prevent from logging data again (mullvad is now experimenting with a double tunnel, but that is just a small nuisance for law enforcement), like there is for encryption (I.e., encryption happened with keys we cannot retrieve, sorry can’t help you).
