Russia asked for access to Delta Chat user data ... so we had some explaining to do :) Cheers to decentralized app designs and the e-mail system's separation of apps and message transport, something that Whatsapp, Telegram and the likes fail to offer ... https://delta.chat/en/2020-05-01-roskamnadzor

    @delta@chaos.social It's worth reminding users that mail transports used by Deltachat leak all metadata around conversations: sender, receiver, number and time of messages and size!

    @delta@chaos.social about "Russia asked for access to Delta Chat user data...": Very similar to #Posteo (Berlin, email) vs. German Authorities. No data - no interception. So far so good. The question remains: What did the other services / providers do? Intercept and deliver? Record and provide? Snoop and fetch data? Posteo at that time accidentially found one answer: Yes, even illegal requests by authorities were fulfilled, all, always. Be more selective in choosing your providers!

  • @delta@chaos.social Thank you for sharing this, providing an encrypted service and standing strong. The power of saying “no” is available to everyone. Use that power.

    NULL's Big Dick Energy @@delta@chaos.social Get ready for getting your app banned in Russia. What do you mean? Pull out of stores? You can't ban it from #Flatpak and #F-droid. E-mail traffic is encrypted and nobody will mess with it. Yandex, Mail-RU, and other can reject Delta traffic, but it will just turn their users to abroad providers, what would be bad for their government sniffing ability. Is it possible to ban Delta client connection to Yandex etc? Again that would just lead people to open abroad accounts for Deltachatting. Telegram and the likes fail to offer Lol, Telegram was banned in Russia precisely for not complying with turning the keys over. Look above, it's not like it's strictly banned. They just open repository, install, and use it with RUS number. Orbot solves cases when problems occurs.

    @delta@chaos.social ah, apparently I didn't follow Delta Chat at Mastodon at the time I commented in this awesome post. Now I find you again thanks to @hyploma@mastodon.social from this thread https://floss.social/@ademalsasa/104352228377420642. Glad to find you again!
