Delta Chat

Third time is a charm!

Watch us tirelessly explaining to Roskomnadzor how e-mail works! The three innovations in our third reply are that we

a) request the international law their request is grounded on (as if they would care)

b) communicate that their assumptions, even according to russian laws, are wrong (as if they would care)

c) state explicitly that Delta Chat is unlike WhatsApp, Signal or Telegram (doh!)

@delta Thanks for sharing these, this is gold for the public debate.

@delta it’s esse delendam, i think?

@delta why bother? I would send all their messages to the spam bin. What's the worst that can happen?

@romikk It is right. Otherwise Roskomnadzor could claim "Delta Chat didn't respond, so we blocked them", and it wouldn't look as bad on them as "Delta Chat refused to start collecting user data for us, so we blocked them" would.

@WofWca well, in this case one response to them outlining your position is enough. No need to prove anything pointing to the laws they don't care about.

@romikk They don't care, but we do. It's not about just Delta Chat and Roskomnadzor, it's about how the public sees all this. "Delta Chat is right and Roskomnadzor are wrong", that's what we want to see, and not just assume.

@delta Funny enough this also happened the other way round to the russian developers of the XABBER Android Jabber/XMPP client receiving a letter from the German @BNetzA due to a similar failure to understand how that app worked:

@asdil12 @BNetzA very interesting even if it's a bit old. The base considerations from this interesting article should still apply. Do you know how the Russian developers responded to this?

@asdil12 @BNetzA thanks, thread apparently cannot be accessed without login but we'll figure it out. (Not really using Twitter for a year or two now)
