@EU_Commission Trust in encryption and confidentiality of private communication is key for any commercial use of any IT equipment. In so far the DSA requires backdoors on devices and communication channels, any upright democrat should rigorously oppose it. Criminals will always find ways to circumvent it using steganography or custom software, regulation on that level will only hurt business-usecases and legitimate users.

Let's wait a couple of weeks. I am a total open source-, open standard- and open platform-fan. But let's wait if this is a trend or just a hype.

If Musk is serious to abandon censorship, it might imply to accept misinformation, and end with the platform being swarmed with alt-right, driving away a lot of current userbase.

But if Mastodon becomes mainstream, does it have any mechanism to do better than Musk Twitter and defend against misinformation?
