    It’s not “groudbreaking” when it’s already widely used in Signal.

    Fuck Apple, they’re a monopolistic piece of shit.

      Signal “only” does PQ key exchange. Apple claims to be doing PQ rekeying in addition to PQ key exchange.

      Read the article before commenting perhaps.

        I’m not in the mood to watch Apple jacking off.

        Besides. They will be using this adjustment to spy on every gorramn thing you text, pic and call. That’s the reason for this “change” to the software that won’t respect the copyleft and lie to present its new and closed source their shit.

        I guaran-fucking-tee it.

    My guess is that they’re doing this now so they can say, in court, that their product is more secure than the alternative. Offering similar encryption in a walled garden might not be enough to avoid antitrust scrutiny in US courtrooms. Now they can lean into to arguing that their product is walled off for security reasons.

    That said, at some point more stuff will need this protection. Maybe not tomorrow, but the clock is ticking.
