In a moment of clarity after initially moving forward a deeply flawed piece of legislation, the French National Assembly has done the right thing: it rejected a dangerous proposal that would have gutted end-to-end encryption in the name of fighting drug trafficking.
BTW: anyone can use it, it’s called olvid , on github , FOSS, matrix based E2E, public funded (no adverts, no corporate ownership), and uses IRL authentication to add contacts instead of using the devices contact lists (by showing each other a generated QR code).
I had Tchap in mind.
DINUM is a lost cause… They keep wasting energy and cash just trowing pasta against the wall. Yesteryear it was olvid, it wasn’t popular, now it’s tchap… Probably because French politicians are still addicted to telegram for their private conversations despite being warned time and time again.
