This court case is the best ad for Delta Chat. If you had any doubts before, there are no doubts now. @cybertailor So what is actually the status now? As far as I can tell, they are based in Germany (in Freiburg, ironically) - does the ruling influence them or just the use of the product? @mjj no consequences for Delta Chat or Merlinux GmbH itself, they could just ignore it and not appeal. But they did anyway, and now we have such interesting documents to read and wonder. |
> Delta Chat is decentralized.
"STFU!! You should've made it centralized."
> Delta Chat uses end-to-end encryption.
"STFU!! You should've added a backdoor for security agencies."
> Delta Chat developers don't have access to messages.
"STFU!! We define a message as any information transmitted over the Internet, and you seem to have a web forum and a mailing list, therefore you also have to add a backdoor in your app."
> Delta Chat developers don't have technical means to identify users and store their data.
"STFU!! It's required by the law!"
> Your demands violate the right to privacy, the right to secrecy of correspondence, the right to freedom of information and overall weaken encryption and undermine respect for human rights.
