We really need some kind of FOSS encryption service that can't just be compromised like that.
๐ค Do you think they could force devs to fork over private keys to blockchains like Bitcoin?
Its called end to end encryption
I know. I am worried that the UK government could force devs to hand over the private keys to those end-to-end encryption apps under this new law.
I would hope no corporation would actually obey something so insane.
A good messaging application won't have keys they can hand over. It should be Foss and have the keys stored by the user
