This would probably fit in better in the technology community and I’m pretty sure it has been shared already, so sorry for the duplicate, especially since it was already on the !privacyguides@lemmy.one and and !europe@feddit.de communities.
I found it interesting because just a few months ago The Linux Experiment made a video that I shared and, while that video was talking about laws in France that I believed at the time would lead to eventually banning encrypted apps it now appears that the possibility of that is now looming over us…moreso after what happened in Arras.

Yes, the attack in Arras is being used as a reason to consider banning encrypted chat apps like Signal and WhatsApp.
I hope this won’t effect protonmail.
Obligatory warning: Protonmail offers zero protection against orders issued to Protonmail to spy on any target.
They serve you the JavaScript used for encryption, you have no way of checking whether it’s the same they serve everyone else, or whether your version has a backdoor.
