Delta Chat

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 ... delta.chat/en/2020-05-01-roska

@delta
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!

@federico3 could you expound on, or provide some context for, that statement?

@delta 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!

@0xD @delta Ok, danke, interessanter Artikel. Ich verstehe aber immer noch nicht ganz, was du mit "...even illegal requests by authorities were fulfilled, all, always." meinst. Der #Transparenzbericht liest sich für mich so, das #posteo eben gerade keine Daten bei rechtswidrigen Anfragen herausgegeben hat. Oder war das auf die anderen Anbieter bezogen?

@delta Thank you for sharing this, providing an encrypted service and standing strong.

The power of saying “no” is available to everyone.

Use that power.

@delta 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 from this thread floss.social/@ademalsasa/10435. Glad to find you again!
