Break the law, get caught, call your buddies at the Commission and have them draft a new law that retroactively saves your ass. Must be nice. This completely invalidates any future marketing speak around privacy that these crooks excel in.

This isn't at all surprising but I still got scoffed at when I suggested that serving third party fonts, css, scripts, whatever without prior consent or contracts would be a violation. Tragically, I was just robbed of my told you so

If this is it then I have to wonder what value the rules really provide. Because I'd rather 150M abruptly change hands every now and then than listen to a member of the PMC standing on their faux meritocracy tell me I'm too stupid

I wouldn't worry about this too much. The Commissioners they swear an oath you know. An oath to be wholly independent, so we can rule out this having been them serving special interests or anything of the sort.

Please take one quick glance at your country's politicians, police or intelligence services. How many oaths did they take? The fact is oaths are just hollow ceremony.

This uses signal-cli[0] (communication happens over D-Bus) and signal-cli in turn uses a patched version of libsignal-service-java[1]. The latter might be used in some of the clients provided by Signal (not sure) but the signal-cli + libsig
