As someone receiving a notice you have no idea if it's legitimate or from a AOL account someone made 15 minutes ago, the threat of it being perjury doesn't work when there's no authentication whatsoever of who sent it. Unless the DMCA is signed by Zaphod Beeblebrox the receiver has no choice but to assume it's legitimate.

A couple of days ago this was not the case, they use CT machines and did not require anything to be taken out of bags.

I’m not entirely sure why it matters that silos of messaging data exist, if it’s encrypted like Signal and WhatsApp the centralized model is far superior to an arbitrary and unknown number of parties receiving metadata about messaging. It might have been an easier case to make if Matrix wasn’t an uphill battle in terms of usability and performance.

The amount of retcon in even the first few pages is comical, it comes across as the most tone deaf thing ever.

It needs server side support, but the OS just supports it out of the box. On linux enabling multi path is I believe just a configuration flag and then it just works.

Yes, absolutely. Part of the reason I’m very happy that people around me tend to use iPhones is that I have some base level confidence in what they’re installing. I don’t trust nearly anyone to make good decisions about what applications they are installing, given how much information cellphones have it’s untenable to have them installing random garbage because some website said so.

In Bitcoin public keys are hashed when publicly exposed, in the optimal case the ECDSA public keys are visible for only a period of a few minutes between broadcast of a transaction, and it being confirmed.

It is not an incompatible change to add new signature methods, a conservative implementation would have the public key commit to both an ecdsa key, and a quantum safe signature type, and use the committed ECDSA signature until such a time as it is no longer safe. This would result in no gain in signature size today, but allows for instant upgrades in place in the future with no additional transactions required.
