#ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) 🚨
After the EU parliament has rejected it TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start.
This is not democratic‼️

Not a fully functional chat app but an interesting project/framework being developed. They’ve described it as “TOR mixed with IPFS without the crypto.” Uses a DHT similar to torrents with built in secure routing reminiscent of TOR. Importantly, it’s not a VPN, but designed to be built into the applications themselves. All apps powered by Veilid also contribute to the network and can be assigned any role in “the onion.” The most important pitch is that by being built into apps it can bring very strong privacy and security to the layperson, though app developers still need to address things like ensuring users retain access to data without email recovery etc.
Anyway, If you like these kinds of projects I’d look into it. I think it has some really good bones and it feels like we need it to mature sooner rather than later.

I sure hope there would be crypto in any private chat app??
Ha. For those that don’t get the joke obviously there’s cryptograpy, but not cryprocurrenty like IPFS uses.
IPFS does not have a cryptocurrency.
