I wonder how this affects nonprofits like Matrix/Element and Signal. What can they do with them? Gangstalk their developers? Coerce big tech to ban them from their appstores?
- ev1 5y agoDoesn't Signal's dev already get bothered every single time they travel?
- smoldesu 5y agoThe design of these decentralized/federated platforms is specifically so they can't easily coerce their owners into disclosing incriminating information. In some sense, it's similar to how Bittorrent implicates it's users.
- viro 5y agoRefusing a valid court issued search warrant/order is a criminal offense. I think 180 days for each refusal of a legal order.
- colechristensen 5y agoWell signal does not have the data, they comply with such orders with the tiny amount of metadata they have (like a timestamp of when your account was created and that’s about it)
- no_time 5y agoThe issue is a bit more complex. I was thinking more on the lines of "will I get bothered for making crypto available for the masses that nobody can crack?"
- millzlane 5y agoIRRC Didn't they jail a guy for that?
