What have I learned from "#DeltaChat v. Roskomnadzor" case: it's illegal to develop e-mail clients in Russia :neocat_thinking:

> Delta Chat is decentralized.

"STFU!! You should've made it centralized."

> Delta Chat uses end-to-end encryption.

"STFU!! You should've added a backdoor for security agencies."

> Delta Chat developers don't have access to messages.

"STFU!! We define a message as any information transmitted over the Internet, and you seem to have a web forum and a mailing list, therefore you also have to add a backdoor in your app."

> Delta Chat developers don't have technical means to identify users and store their data.

"STFU!! It's required by the law!"

> Your demands violate the right to privacy, the right to secrecy of correspondence, the right to freedom of information and overall weaken encryption and undermine respect for human rights.

"S... T... F... U!!!"

@jen after Delta Chat developers rejected all three requests as invalid, Roskomnadzor went to court. I've made a quick summary of the court ruling that has just been published.
