“This is an important public service announcement related to your right to privacy … We the people have 1 day 16 hours 33 minutes 13 seconds to take action and influence this outcome.
…
For now, your encrypted messages have a lock on them.
Only you, and the person you're talking to, hold the key. Not the app. Not the company. Not the government. You probably don't think about it. That's the whole point — it just works.
Until, possibly, the end of this summer.
WHAT BILL C-22 WOULD DO
Every messaging app in Canada would be required to build a second key.”
Another effort to destroy end-to-end encryption, and thus your privacy, this time from Canada.

Signal is developing a standalone desktop app without requiring a smartphone for setup or use, based on recent open-source code changes. 🖥️
The update adds more desktop controls while keeping end-to-end encryption, improving device independence with a privacy-first design. 🔐

Most messaging apps are #surveillance products with a chat interface bolted on.
#Signal. #Matrix. The exceptions matter.
