secure messaging
It’s not secure messaging if it can be monitored
Watch this turn out like USA FISA that rubber stamps everything.
Well sounds like WhatsApp is not secure?
How are they gonna a get contents of a custom ROM with signal?
Pegasus?
well since majority of people won’t be using signal and a custom ROM, they won’t have to worry about the minority. Just hope people can see and fight back. Unfortunately, most don’t care or think its a good thing for some reason.
You would think a guy doing crime would not be using SMS or iMessages lol
I agree, but if they are not well versed in the digital world, most think they are safe in SMS until their conversations gets blasted in a court case. Honestly, I would rather they stay on SMS then try to move onto signal so the government doesn’t have a reason to try to go after encrypted messengers. Just wish there were stronger laws in place to prevent this but of course we can’t compete with billion of lobby dollars.
Under the new system, monitoring of a person’s messaging must be approved by a three-judge panel and should only apply to a limited number of cases. Interior Minister Gerhard Karner told the news conference it was only expected to be used on 25-30 people a year.
If it is more than 30, a report must be sent to a parliamentary committee, the government said, addressing concerns about mass surveillance and the infringement of people’s privacy.
“The police must have a well-founded suspicion of a possible terror attack” to monitor a person’s messaging under the new system, a government statement said.
Once parliament passes the legislation, a tender process for monitoring technology would be launched, and monitoring would begin in 2027, the government said.
