Meredith Whittaker (@Mer__edith) has been invited to speak at #39C3 later today. If you make it to the mic in time, here is an interesting question for her: "If I’m put on a boycott list by the Trump regime because I’m openly anti-fascist or oppose war crimes, will you adhere to US laws and block my access to #Signal?"

you are aware that there are only two answers to this question.

„No“ isn‘t one of them.

„We will follow all laws we are subjected to“ is the default answer.

„We believe the government is wrong and we will sue the government“ is the rare answer.

I believe this has only happened a handful of times in tech so far. DJB, (old) Twitter and GitHub have successfully done so.

Would be nice to see Signal join that list.

If there will be an Q/A, you can post your questions online too: events.ccc.de/congress/2025/in…

e.g. on the matrix channel

When you're attacking people for being "anti-fascist", you'd expect his supporters would start asking "are we the baddies?". But no.
