Granted, the part

The globally recommended app by privacy and security experts, Signal, is now being downloaded massively and tops the Danish Google Play Store

is a little ironic, but you gotta push this winning tide and then work from that.

    No, any normal easy to use federated XMPP app will work with built in e2ee. There is no real difference between an app communicating with a server and a browser communicating with a webserver, and for an outside observer there is no easy way to tell them apart.

    Please educate yourself better about this topic. You make yourself look really stupid 🤷

    Oh and WhatApp is already e2ee.

      The problem is

      The EU is likely to make e2e messaging illegal before the USA cuts access.

      So everything on a server must be accessable and all regular messengers with e2ee must have a backdoor.

      So the only possibility for secure communications are direct connections that no server can scan with AI.

      Shut that down, too, and no community bigger than a couple of people can communicate unsupervised.

        The EU can try to make it illegal, but as I said, there is no way to enforce such a law and no real way to prevent decentralized e2ee messengers from continuing to work.

        So really what you are saying makes little sense.
