I upvoted your comment, but I would like to note that I strongly disagree with the “Unlike Signal, (…)” part.

Why do you share a third-party article instead of linking the original blog post by DeltaChat themselve?

I seriously wonder: what makes it so hard to fully support IPv6?

I’m aware that a link is attached which bypasses this restriction, but if I have to break the law to read the article or alternatively hand over my personal data, then I think it shouldn’t have been shared here in the first place.

Archive.is and its variations sadly also exploited their users to DDoS another website and falsified data; they also refused to comply with data protection regulation in the past, and remove personal data from their websites. Wikipedia banned the service entirely and removed all references.

The fight in an constantly evolving space cannot be lost, see what happend with the web browsers from back then.

Source?

The title is misleading; among other making these forms of age verification global would be in violation of current EU law according to the EDPB.

Link?

I wonder why they still haven’t had their domain taken away, as it is hard to believe they didn’t upset their local government too.

The worst thing the UK could do is sanction the country where responsible people live, though I consider this unlikely. The second worst thing they could do is just block it nationwide on a network level.
