India first democracy to ban encrypted messaging apps on massive scale.

Only days before Press Freedom Day, India banned apps for secure communication because of "terrorists" use.

🚨 🇮🇳 #India banning #OpenSource #Matrix clients like #Element is equivalent to banning your favorite web browser or email client.

🤯 Can you imagine if Firefox, Chrome, or Thunderbird were banned nationally?

🔑 Privacy is a human right.

➡️ And governments will never stop human rights abuses by denying its citizens' human rights.

:boost_love: Pass it on.

#Britain 🇬🇧 citizens might lose legal access to #iMessage (by #Apple), #Signal, #WhatsApp, #Telegram & even #Element / #Matrix if #England does not amend this bill. Key word is legal access, as many people will still use these services illegally if necessary.

I believe cooler heads will prevail in this situation though. I hope!

Ich bitte alle mal einen prüfenden Blick auf die Matrix zu werfen - insbesondere auf jene Messenger, die ihr selbst benutzt. Sollten Angaben nicht stimmen bzw. überarbeitet werden, so meldet das bitte. Entweder hier oder über die Projektseite.

End-to-end encryption; the will of the British people

https://element.io/blog/end-to-end-encryption-the-will-of-the-british-people/

Ideally, this section would introduce a guarantee that this type of notice would not be imposed on providers of end-to-end encrypted communications. Instead it relies on questionable concepts such as “accredited technology” to wistfully wave some form of assurance that ‘this sort of thing’ is technically possible and it’ll all be fine, secure and appropriate.

Be under no illusion; “accredited technology” is no more reassuring than a lock which can be opened by a skeleton key.

It’s this aspect of the Online Safety Bill - the potential for undermining of end-to-end encryption - that we refute as completely flawed. It is not possible to have both secure communications and blanket surveillance, in the same way you cannot “have your cake and eat it.”

India bans open source messaging apps for security reasons. FOSS community says good luck

I'm trying to replace as a daily client because not only it is one of the featured clients with beautiful and consistent UI, but also I've been really fed up with governance of vector-im, to which I had essentially provided just free labor.

If you like a simple UI centered on text based communication without a bunch of features such as widget and thread, cinny should be a better choice than Element, though the client seems to lack basic features like permalink.

Hi! Are you a #lawyer or other #legal professional? Cool, but also, condolences.

We here at https://esq.social want to help. We're a purpose-built #Mastodon instance to provide a home base on the #fediverse for all you looney tunes.

Join us, won't you? We're nice and we've been around for a year -- which is like a decade in fediverse time.

We also have a #Slack-like platform called #Element with about 30 folks popping in and out. I’ll put that link in the next toot.

India blocks 14 apps including , @briar, threema, imo etc

"While tracking down one of the communication, agencies found that the mobile application does not have representatives in India and it is difficult to track down activities happening on the app".

Read more at:
https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/india-blocks-14-apps-in-jammu-and-kashmir-for-spreading-terror/articleshow/99900313.cms

This is a dangerous precedent and opens the door to ban any app/service not having a presence in India. We should challenge this order in the Supreme Court.

HELP!
Our Matrix server and/or Element client just doesn't seem to invite people to rooms, properly. Is there anyone out there with a LOT of matrix experience who can help us figure this out? It's been a problem for months, and delays a really interesting project;
