Key Transparency and the Right to be Forgotten

This post is the first in a new series covering some of the reasoning behind decisions made in my project to build end-to-end encryption for direct messages on the Fediverse. (Collectively, Fedi-E2EE.) Although the reasons for specific design decisions should be immediately obvious from reading the relevant specification (and if not, I consider that a bug in the specification), I believe writing about it less formally will…

> 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.

Those of you who have to work through Google, Apple and other store's compliance, we feel you! Maintaining around 16+ target distribution sites for cross platform apps takes a constant toll on us.

One of the giant features of #webxdc app developments is precisely that no store is needed. You can just write an index.html, a .js file and pack into a zip file and everyone can use this as an app in their chats, no store needed for permission and distribution.

I am originally skeptical of @kagihq ‘s new Translate when I read the changelog since it’s using LLM, but damn I was wrong.

I used a piece of Chinese news to test the translation, and Kagi is the only one that translate 副總統勝選人 to “Vice President-elect”. Google Translate translated it to “Vice President Candidate” (副總統候選人） while DeepL only translate it to Vice President (副總統)

#Kagi #KagiTranslate

Kagi’s Translation Result: According to a Reuters report on November 6, citing sources, Biden will provide billions of dollars in emergency aid to Ukraine before leaving office. The Reuters report stated that the White House did not respond to requests for comment. Since Trump has repeatedly expressed disinterest in aiding Ukraine, and Vice President-elect Vance has also publicly opposed supporting Ukraine, there are concerns that Trump may significantly reduce or even stop aid to Ukraine once he takes office.

The reason why many Canadians have more than 17 weeks of maternity leave is because of the 42-day postal strike in 1981. #CanPoli #CdnPoli #PostalStrike

Did you know that paid maternity leave benefits have only been around since 1971 in Canada? Before that, a new mother had to quit work or return to work quickly if her family depended on her income.

This article discusses how to protect privacy, amidst concerns of increased government surveillance.

The article is aimed at Asylum seekers & immigrants to the US, but it's solid advice for anyone, really.

Recommendations include using encrypted messaging apps like Signal, Apple iMessage, and WhatsApp, and setting messages to disappear.

It also recommends minimizing data sharing and deleting data when possible, particularly from Google.

#JohanaBhuiyan suggests to #autoDelete messages and I agree with her.

While this is not a "hard" security measure and might lead to a false sense of security, it is an easy and effective method of #dataHygiene.

I wonder, if any #Jabber clients have this feature?

In Welsh myths, pigs originally came from the Otherworld, a gift from the fairy king Arawn. The Welsh point to all the many different kinds of marvelous food one can turn pigs into (bacon, sausages, pork chops, etc.) as proof that pigs are magical creatures.
