Russia's request for Delta Chat user data ... declined.
E' decisamente ora di provare Delta.Chat! Giacomo https://delta.chat/en/2020-05-01-roskamnadzor On April 27th we received a letter from Roskomnadzor, the russian supervisor of communications and information technology. They requested us to provide access to Delta Chat user data and register with their state-run provider registry. We declined for the simple reason that Delta Chat developers have no access to user data whatsoever. Delta Chat is a decentralized messenger and doesn’t have their own servers. You choose the e-mail provider which you trust yourself and we don’t know about your choices. Besides, even e-mail providers won’t see Delta Chat message contents because messages are end-to-end encrypted via Autocrypt. Big cheers to the e-mail ecosystem which has a standardized separation of apps (MUAs) from message transport (MTAs), and a planetary-scale and diversely operated system at that … even if a little messy and slow-moving ;)
c'e' anche COI, come protocollo, proposto da OX ciao, s. On 24/05/2020 19:16, Giacomo Tesio wrote:

Che coincidenza, stavo giusto pensando di disintossicarmi da Telegram (uso l'app di Fdroid *ma* le secret chat non sono portabili tra device, e questo è odioso) e il candidato perfetto è proprio quello; lo avevo provato tempo fa e funzionava bene, ma non era ancora pronto per la "mass adoption": ora sì.

Sono piuttosto basito: quelli di Roskomnadzor non lo sanno che Delta.Chat è *solo* software?!? Sarebbe come chiedere a quelli di MS Outlook di fornire accesso ai dati degli utenti ;-)

Sì, il "trucco" lo fa Autocrypt (cioè OpenPGP), ciò significa che ci sono tutti i vantaggi e gli svantaggi di usare la crittazione *non* forward secrecy (...e a me va bene). La piacevole conseguenza è che è possibile accedere ai messaggi in chat anche con altri MUA compatibili con Autocrypt: https://autocrypt.org/dev-status.html [1] Se poi tieni i tuoi messaggi archiviati localmente invece che lasciarli sui server esterni allora sei ancora più tranquillo; con un piccolo sforzo mettere in piedi un proprio server IMAP (e anche SMTP) per leggere (o inviare) la posta anche da fuori è fattibile.

Già, più o meno 13 anni fa avevo letto chi sosteneva che con il fiorire di sistemi di messassistica moderni (allora XMPP spopolava) nel giro di qualche anno l'email sarebbe sparita... divertente :-) Ciao, Giovanni [1] non elenca https://melpa.org/#/autocrypt, per gli utenti Emacs -- Giovanni Biscuolo
