As a citizen of the EU I can say fu%k off, EU. The only way to make interoperable messaging I'd use is if the clients are not reading the messages, but only shuffling encrypted blobs around. I'll stick with Signal for messaging otherwise.
- mmarq 5y agoI may have misunderstood your message, but I don’t see why interoperable messaging apps should require clients to exchange data in clear text.
- seba_dos1 5y agoIndeed, XMPP is perfectly interoperable and yet end-to-end encrypted.
- cm2187 5y agoYou can see it the other way round. You could use a client you trust or compiled yourself to interact with signal users. Interoperable doesn’t necessarily mean back doored
- Arnt 5y agoRead the actual proposal — it'll never affect Signal in any bad way. Summary of the summary: Very big messengers have to interoperate with smaller ones if the smaller ones want to do that. Signal is a smaller one and will always be below the threshold, so it'll have the choice: Allow whatsapp interop like it allows SMS now, or don't. Signal's choice.
