I’ve already deleted my pronouns and bios showing support for Ukraine, Palestine, and showing hate towards N*zis, I’m now wondering if I should delete my accounts altogether.

Totally get why you’re doing that but you’re also giving them exactly what they want.

We’re not talking about takedown requests, we’re talking about bypassing DRM.

It’s not a “take”, it is a fact.

Stop commenting unless you have evidence to the contrary.

This shouldn’t really be necessary, as Signal uses the contact info in your contacts by default.

It really was. Do you not know what the DMCA is? It’s US law.

That’s great. This conversation was about the US.

We were talking about laws, not rights or views.

Didn’t realize the DMCA applied in Sweden.

If another law says you have a right to create

That law doesn’t exist and that’s not how law works. Law does not specify what is allowed, only what isn’t. Breaking encryption isn’t.

There is no “more illegal”. One is illegal, the other is not.

The DMCA makes it pretty clear that “Circumvention of Technological Protection Measures” is illegal. There are no exceptions for whether you own or redistribute the content in question.

I’m not getting it but I know others are.

It’s not.

I’ve asked them several times and they have declined.

What can we do? What can we do about Meta and Xitter and Reddit? Just try to show people that there’s another side where the grass actually is greener and invite them to join.

Literally never seen that before but I assume you have to break the OS to do it.

i don’t like the browser doing something like that where i don’t know what it’s doing.

Do you know what Firefox is doing? Do you know what GrapheneOS is doing? At some point you have to either audit the code yourself or trust it.

Seems a bit paranoid to be unwilling to have any Chromium fork on your PC for 15 minutes but you do you.

Ah, I didn’t do it that way… I think.

Okay, but you can.

Also I use firefox and I doubted it would work.

It doesn’t, but you can’t use Chrome (or any other Chromium browser) for 5 minutes?

If you actually look into this, you really can’t. Yes, you can install alternative app stores but they still require Apple’s stamp of approval, they still require an Apple developer account, along with $100/yr subscriptions, and they still require “only” 27% cut of revenue, and all of that is only available in the EU.

Well. Agree to disagree. You literally just plug it in and push buttons in the browser. It’s that simple.
