Reply to comment by 1wiseguy in Signal CEO: We “1,000% won’t participate” in UK law to weaken encryption by ActivePersona

Tbh there has been research that would allow somehow for the encrpytion to work ONLY if some words / phrases are not present.

It's a stupid thing but some genuinely want to do that. And it literally makes the encryption pointless if they do do that because then some "trusted" party makes a list of words and phrases which can be any fucking thing.

The issue is that it doesn't sound absurd to a politician or a regular person.
