E2e is not yet illegal, is it for you?

[–] LowleeKun 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not yet, but not for a lack of politicians trying. So far the european court has done its job and also some countries have stalled.

Hey there german friend πŸ˜„ it is still illegal in switzerland but police is still way more chill in switzerland. I was in Freiburg at a Festival and on the way there police stopped is and my girlfriend had to undress completely because their doggo smelled our empty grinder.. I had the weed in my backpack sealed so doggo did not find that. My girlfriend asked what they would do if they find weed, the police answered, that they do not know what they would do.

Luckily at the festival, everything was as chill as in Switzerland, like they find the weed at the gate, let you keep it and let you in. Smoking there was no problem either.

One sad point is, that I did not find any ACID at the festival πŸ˜‚ but I guess that is a me problem

Happy to hear that they are chill, at that point it would make sense to legalize. Alteast having home growing and consumption being legal is something that is hard to argue against. I bet it is going to get much better for us in the future (hopium, i know)🀞

I think the Online Safety Act recently passed in the UK does technically make proper encryption illegal. Chat platforms are supposed to comply when UK law enforcement asks for logs, and it says something about them needing to be "readable".

This probably mainly just means they should be able to use the backdoors in major platforms. It would be very difficult for them to go after every obscure xmpp provider or whatever, and so far they haven't.

The law says lots of other dumb and quite dystopian stuff like policies every "social media platform" has to follow, which seem to really misunderstand how the internet works. The UK would need to block itself off from most of the internet for any of this to work. One of the main chat platforms I use is just a computer in some German tech enthusiast's house (I think).

Thankfully, Labour got into power in the recent election instead of Conservatives. Their candidate was often called a "Tory with a red tie" since he didn't believe in as serious left-wing policies as other, failed Labour candidates like Jeremy Corbyn. The point though is that hopefully they won't be dropping many more laws like the "Online Safety" ("Ahhh, protect the children because any website can have porn D:") Act.

Ofcom is supposedly in the stages of putting the law into practice though. I hope nothing extreme happens to the UK, but it all sounds pretty horrible to me.

Yea, I wonder what they would do against my self hosted matrix server behind VPN and reverse proxy πŸ€”
