pep.Fun fact, related to the groupchat terminology thread, https://docs.mattermost.com/help/getting-started/organizing-conversations.html, Mattermost has "private channels" _and_ "group messages", that are literally the same thing from what I understand, apart that group messages are limited to 7 members.

pep."Group message channels are useful for fluid/ad-hoc conversations among users.
Private channels are more useful when there's a concrete topic to discuss and you want to preserve the message history, or at least have an easy way to collect and refer to it later. You can also add more people to an existing private channel conversation and make it public later."
From a mattermost person.
jonaswso for group messages there’s no history?
pep.apparently.
jonaswhmm
pep.I don't like this split personally
pep.I want history, everywhere, all the time
jonaswthat solves the "what about history in an ad-hoc group discussion?" issue clearly :D
jonaswpep., was discussed at summit, it’s not trivial
pep.how so
jonaswfor example, group conversation between Alice, Bob and Carol. At some point, Bob and Carol talk about Dianne, maybe planning an Intervention for her weird behaviour regarding hats. Then the discussion evolves and they need to invite Dianne to discuss some plans next week.
jonaswif Dianne has access to the history, that’s bad
jonaswif Alice, Bob and Carol need to do UI dances to prevent her from doing so, that’s also bad.
pep.they create another channel and move on?
KevI like Slack's approach here, personally.
jonaswKev, how does slack handle this?
Kev"Would you like to preserve history? If you do, Dianne will be able to see it. If you don't, it will be removed for everyone"
jonasw(also, I have no idea how I came up with the hats thing and now I kinda want to know what Dianne does with hats.)
jonaswKev, when inviting a new person or when first creating the channel?
KevIt's not perfect, obviously, but it's functional enough and not surprising.
KevWhen inviting a new person to a private channel.
alexishas joined
jonaswthat’s neat
ZashIt's possible to restrict history to only those present to see it
jonaswZash, with MUC, that’s not great either, because you drop out temporarily during connectivity issues.
marmistrzhas left
Zashjonasw: Well, you can base it on affiliation, not presence.
jonaswZash, right
KevMost people have no affiliation
KevBut yes.
ZashDepends on the room
jonaswKev, in private channels, you’d typically need member affiliation
jonaswbecause you want them to be members-only
ZashIf it's for private team chat then they probably do
jonaswso that makes sense.
pep.I usually set affiliations on my channels
KevIt's not hugely straightforward to limit per-message history based on affilation at that time, though.
efrithas joined
pep.But that could be automated anyway
KevPossible, obviously, but not hugely straightforward.
jonaswKev, implementation-wise?
KevYeah.
pep.jonasw> if Dianne has access to the history, that’s bad
jonasw> if Alice, Bob and Carol need to do UI dances to prevent her from doing so, that’s also bad.
pep.> they create another channel and move on?
jonasw ^, probably what's happening internally in mattermost already
pep.When inviting a new person
ZashI imagine it gets complicated if you want newly invited persons to see some history from before they were invited, but not all

jonaswthe subgroup of that which is interested in making a good IM system should probably come up with something though.
ZashI do think it'd be nice if Council or Board wrote some kind of vision statement.
edhelasthe issue is that lots of app are also using XMPP for non-IM stuff
pep.Then I can just read the statement and say "Ok I want in", or "It's not for me", and not try hard to move it my way when it's never going to go where I want
edhelasI fully understand that it's the core thing but sometime it's a bit too focused
pep.Would make sense. I guess you can already do that with forms? Or just redirect to a web page for the whole thing, but I do prefer the "in-band" part of IBR.
pep.Though admittedly, EULA would most likely be an http link
jonaswit would be good to hvae the common things as structured data so that clients can display a summary
jonaswlike:
[ ] encrypted storage
data automatically deleted after [ ] days
…
ZashIt would be good if this could be negotiated
ZashAs in, that the client can say "I understand these things"
ZashOr you end up like if you try to use extended registration forms now, with nothing working and no way to indicate why

jonaswmoparisthebest, sure, they can lie about, but if they make false statements they’re liable for that
ZashCan't just go on the internet and tell lies
jonaswbut statements are required as per EU-GDPR
moparisthebestjust seems super useless
jonaswso better have some standardised way to make it easy for everyone
moparisthebestoh who would have guessed govt regulation would turn out to be useless :)
ZashUm
pep.moparisthebest, you trust or you don't trust statements of your server admin, that's your issue
pep.But let them tell their lies
moparisthebestpep., I'd rather avoid the false sense of security and foster a healthy distrust of server admins
ZashCivilized society needs its privacy statements and agreements.
pep.moparisthebest, I want my users to be aware of how I operate
pep.Otherwise they don't get to use my service
moparisthebestmeh I don't think it does Zash , I'd prefer to just solve the problem with technology
moparisthebestotherwise why even bother with things like TLS ? just ask intermediaries to promise not to look at your traffic?
ZashYou know what they say about technical solutions to social problems?
ZashWhy bother with locks. It's pretty easy to pick them anyways.
ZashLocks aren't entirely a techical thing. It's part social signal, part technical.
ZashAnd then things like the legaly system to deal with people who break it. And insurance to reduce the damages.
ZashMain reason why TLS needs to basically be perfect is that those civilization things don't scale to Internet-sized groups
waqashas joined
moparisthebestI guess the scaling thing is the concern, if I run a server for friends/family, we don't need any statements/agreements, and if I run a server for the public, statements/agreements are useless because they are unenforceable anyway, and they don't trust me
ZashI do wonder how GDPR relates to self-/small-group-of-friends hosting

jonaswZash, tricky, I’m not sure if third parties can hold you liable.
marmistrzhas left
Zashmoparisthebest: Myeah, we haven't completely figured out how society works with Internet-scale communications yet.
jonaswmoparisthebest, let’s talk about unenforceable again when the privacy regulator comes knocking on your door because there’s evidence that your public service stored my messages without my consent :)
jonasw(of course, you can point at your records and say "but you enabled MAM" and then I’m like "wtf are you talking about" and then we figure out that my client did that behind my back and now nobody knows who the f* is actually liable for that)
alexishas joined
ZashWe can't have 100% perfect enforcement. But most people are mostly honest most of the time, so usually things work out fine.
jonasw(alternatively, you figure out that prosody has been enabling MAM without explicit consent since forever and you’re screwed because you didn’t properly vet the software you’re using)
Zash> THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
etc...
jonaswpep., speaking of things, one probably also needs versioning for the privacy policy when we’re doing that
jonaswZash, that’s why I said "you’re screwed" and not "the prosody folks are screwed" :)
jonaswpep., so that servers can keep track of the version of the policy accepted by the user and re-ask them when things ch ange
ZashThe balancing act between consent of the user, intent of the admin, UX ...
moparisthebestalso how do they expect to enforce this over the 90% of internet they have 0 control over?
moparisthebestI'm not even sure if, being a US citizen, this applies to me if my server is in germany...
ZashYeah, how do these things work with federation?
jonaswmoparisthebest, it obviously only affects entities offering services in the EU.
jonaswmoparisthebest, doesn’t matter, it applies to you if you have EU customers.
jonasw(or users)
moparisthebestjonasw, citizens of EU, servers of EU, or users in EU
moparisthebestok, so users in EU, and if I don't comply, how do they expect to force me to?
jonaswI have no idea
jonaswbut users may prefer EU services over US services for this reason.
moparisthebestif I visit the EU one day they arrest me? :P
ZashExtradition agreements are fun.
moparisthebestI'll just never come to EU then I guess
jonaswjust like I’ll never come to the US :-)
jonaswor russia for that matter.
moparisthebestZash, I can't imagine those would apply, that'd be kind of crazy
moparisthebestoops an EU user accessed the server you run in your house in USA, we are gonna send you to EU prison now...
jonaswmoparisthebest, EU is taking data protection rather seriously nowadays, I’m not sure what the punishments are though.
Zashmoparisthebest: Uh, I'd rather imagine that the EU isn't insane like that.
ZashGlob help you if you share some copyrighted files tho
jonaswhaving the GDPR stuff pre-IBR via stream feature magic would be great, it could be incorporated into xmpp.net
jonaswif anybody dares to touch the code that is.

ZashOperators of email and other federated things are probably interested as well

ZashEmail is store-and-forward.

ZashIs now, with MAM :/
ZashData at rest is considered differently from data in flight.

moparisthebestwell smacks is kinda store and forward, so is offline messaging, muc backlog thing
moparisthebestI think it's safe to say 99% of xmpp messages today are store and forward, or at least you can't tell when sending them so you have to treat them as such?

Ge0rGI need to convince my boss that writing a policy for yax.im will be a nice exercise for our younger colleagues
jonaswpep., neat.
jonaswI’ll dump the things I threw at board here so you can mention it there, pep.:
There was some discussion in xsf@ today (actually, is right now). Some of the
points which were mentioned:
General question: Are IM messages to be considered "personal data revealing
racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical
beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data,
biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data
concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual
orientation" in general (article 9)? (I suspect so, IANAL.) If not, I think
most of the following points are moot-ish.
Situation A:
romeo@montague.lit talks to juliet@capulet.lit. While romeo is aware of the
privacy policy of montague.lit (he acknowledged it when registering), he is
not aware of the privacy policy of capulet.lit. capulet.lit decided to store
all IM messages forever, which is probably(? IANAL) something they need
explicit consent for even from other domains.
Situation B:
capulet.lit has a MAM service, but it is opt-in to ensure consent from the
users. (Suppose here that we have protocol to actually show a privacy policy
when users opt-in to MAM.) juliet uses a client which turns on MAM by default.
Who is liable when juliet complains that capulet.lit is storing messages? And
how to avoid this?
Situation C:
coven@chat.shakespeare.lit is a private MUC with MUC MAM enabled. Is this
covered by Article 9 (2) (e) ("processing relates to personal data which are
manifestly made public by the data subject;")? I suspect not, and then we’d
need ways to convey the terms of archival and to express consent when joining
such a MUC. Is this situation different if the MUC is public? I suspect that
this will have to do a lot with how the UI presents it.
Ge0rGmoparisthebest: like with the EU cookie warning...
SamWhitedI've been working on GDPR compliance stuff for weeks now… I'm starting to get chills whenever someone mentions it. Opened this room and thought I'd accidentally started work chat instead.
jonaswSamWhited, :)
pep.SamWhited, :D
MattJDoes anyone actually have the answers to these questions?
Ge0rGMattJ: do you consider "pay a €100k compliance violation fee and stop the offending behavior" a valid answer?
moparisthebestit seems to me the law was specifically crafted to target walled gardens, not federated systems, and it basically makes it impossible to run federated systems...
jonaswMattJ, you’ll find out thursday! (board@xmpp.org is the right adress to dump board agenda at, isn’t it?)
MattJjonasw, I don't know... I haven't received any email, so I don't know where it went to
moparisthebestwhich, politicians ignoring xmpp, fair, but they ignored email too? surely they know about email
jonaswmoparisthebest, they might not know how email works
moparisthebesttrue, if they think of email as gmail...
pep.jonasw, their technical team *might*
jonaswMattJ, I can’t add an agendum to the board trello, can you do that for me when I forward you my email?
MattJjonasw, shall do
MattJGe0rG, I mean, I understand a lot of people are making money from GDPR consulting, but has anyone to date received a €100k compliance violation fee?
moparisthebestwhat if everyone just pulls what I pull on my IRC server, put a statement like "Due to GDPR, citizens of EU are forbidden from using this server" up
moparisthebestand then just not enforce it in practice?
Ge0rGMattJ: no, because the GDPR isn't in effect yet
MattJExactly
jonaswMattJ, enforcement afaik only starts on may 25th
MattJSo nobody knows how the legislation will be interpreted by the courts
MattJI find it unlikely that they would conclude that a non-commercial XMPP service that does not make any money would be forced to pay a €100k fine because they stored someone's groupchat message in an archive
Ge0rGMattJ: the first step will be for the data protection offices to ask companies for their policy documents
Ge0rGMattJ: unlikely isn't impossible
moparisthebestMattJ, and what about a commercial xmpp service that charges $2 per month or something
MattJNo, nothing is impossible
MattJmoparisthebest, fines are usually proportional to company revenue
Ge0rGMattJ: I'm not sure if you would bet your private possessions on that low probability
MattJIANAL, I'm not telling anyone they shouldn't worry about GDPR, I'm just questioning how much you can take a lawyers word today about whether e.g. storing chatroom messages in an archive is legal or not
Ge0rGMattJ: the lawyers don't know either, so they predict the worst case
MattJof course
MattJbut we already know the worst case, without paying the lawyers anything
MattJIf you have to ask, you probably shouldn't be storing it if you want to be 100% safe
jonaswI tried to ask very fundamental questions though. questions to which we should already have an answer before the first xmpp service is sued.
jonaswlike the federation thing
jonaswand with answer I mean a technical way to achieve what’s needed to comply.
jonaswlike what we were discussing earlier with the potential privacy policy XEP
Ge0rGThere was a nice court ruling in Germany recently, regarding WhatsApp. A WhatsApp User requires written consent from all contacts to put their phone number into the cloud.
Ge0rGThat sounds like we need consent from each MUC participant
jonaswoddly, people haven’t stopped using whatsapp :(
Ge0rGjonasw: yes, probably out of ignorance.
jonaswGe0rG, for public MUCs probably not due to Article 9 (2) (e), I guess.
jonaswGe0rG, no, probably because nobody sues their friends and relatives or people with whom they do business over a phone number upload.

Ge0rGMaybe.
Ge0rGAt least it is rather improbable that you will be sued for uploading your grandma's cookie receipt to AWS
jonaswhow about your grandmas erotic friend fictions?
Ge0rGjonasw: it depends whether those are real or imaginary friends. With fiction you are subject to copyright, where the civil liability depends on the number of potential readers, with non fiction you are subject to GDPR, and you know the fines there.
jonaswwell your grandma would be a real person and thus at least one subject in that fiction story would be real.
jonasw(at least that’s the limited understanding I got on erotic friend fictions)
Ge0rGjonasw: I would argue that fiction doesn't count as sensitive PII, but probably only if it's clearly labeled as fiction.
moparisthebestalso a possibly upcoming EU law would require disabling e2e and scanning/filtering all stanzas sent https://blog.github.com/2018-03-14-eu-proposal-upload-filters-code/ :'(

pep.Ge0rG, if it was my hardware in the DC that would be a bit easier to do encryption I guess?. That still doesn't prevent DC people from fiddling with it. Is that what SGX is for?
pep.If it's just a question of liability then I guess I don't need encryption at all, if a leak was caused by a hardware issues, or software issues at the virtualization level, I was told I could probably take it to the hosting provider.
pep.Otherwise, if it's mistrust towards the provider, first I'm in a bad position, second, if I still want to do something about it, I guess LUKS on my rootfs with dropbear-in-initramfs would prevent "casual snooping". But protects in no way against a bit more elaborated "attacks"

It's actually dates much earlier. After Google announced Hangouts, they began gradually chopping off parts of xmpp functionality one by one in a period of over 2 years.

Andrew NenakhovNot really. They announced that 'nothing changes for current users', but it did, gradually.
I'd even call it death by 1000 cuts, because it was clearly done so not to have another uproar like when they killed RSS Reader

Ge0rGmoparisthebest: yes, Google Management stated to lock in users some time around 2005. But I think there is still a large portion of CADT involved.
jonaswyou like that acronym, don’t you?
fippoge0rg: pah, getting rid of xmpp was clearly a technical decision because xmpp is based on http!
Ge0rGjonasw: it perfectly fits how Google does IM.

jjrhI don't think what google turning off federation was to lock their users in - google doesn't have any issue with that.
Guushas left
jjrhI think they mostly just didn't want to support XMPP. Probably turning off federation made sense since they didn't need to deal with that UI aspect.
jjrhI'm guessing the majority of users didn't really use any of the federation stuff either.
jjrhI never understood the google news reader thing though - ALOT of people used it, there were tons of apps that took advantage of the fact all your RSS subscriptions were on a account just about every android user has.
Guushas left
Andrew NenakhovGoogle Reader was good, but current Feedly is better. Though RSS seems to be on decline too, so many websites opt for this stupid telegram channels thing, locking themselves into yet another proprietary service
jjrhThe thing that was nice about google reader was you had a dozen or so apps that connected to google reader so you had a good amount of choice.
SamWhitedooh, I haven't seen that one I don't think. I looked desperately for another feed reader that I actually liked after Google Reader shut down, but never found one and eventually gave up.
moparisthebesttt-rss
Alexhas left
moparisthebestgood web ui, and good android client
SamWhitedThat would require that I do work.
moparisthebeston the other hand, no one else can turn it off on a whim SamWhited :)
SamWhitedDon't care since I can export an OPML bundle
ZashI used liferea back in the day
SamWhitedAlso, even if I wanted to self host I'm not running PHP on my server.
jonaswgood choice.
marmistrzhas left
jjrhYeah there are a few other 'self hosted' choices https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted#feed-readers
ZashNow I just randomly go to sites when I remember them. Or I hear about stuff because people link to things.
SamWhitedCan liferea sync to some sort of backend and stay in sync with a mobile version? That's basically my only requirement (that and I don't want to host whatever that backend is)
ZashNever got why it had to be a fkn web service
ZashSamWhited: I have no idea that was even a thing people did
waqasmumbles something about webscale
jjrhFeedly is probably what you want - it has a web reader and a android app
SamWhitedOh yes; I don't care if it's a desktop app or a webapp as long as I can read stuff on the bus and not have to figure out what I'd already read later.
SamWhitedFeedly does look like waht I was looking for at the time; I might give it a shot.
jjrhWhat drives me nuts is so many sites don't actually post the whole article in the RSS feed.
SamWhitedOoh yah, that always annoyed me
ZashReading on a bus seems like a recipie for feeling sick
jjrhit's like a 2 line sentence with a link to the website - and I mean the whole point is I want to read the article in the rss reader optionally offline.
SamWhitedDoesn't bother me unless it's one of the big commuter busses
moparisthebesttt-rss lets you write plugins to go to the website and grab the whole article anyway jjrh
moparisthebestbecause yes, that's obnoxious
jjrhThat's nice.
ZashIt's probably all just fake news anyways!
SamWhitedLiferea looks nice, but doesn't appear to sync to anything, sadly :(
marmistrzhas left
jjrhFake news is still news because people believe it's news and that's relevant
SamWhitedThat's why I only subscribe to The Onion.
jjrhI mostly read about Canadian politics and no cares about Canada enough about us to create a fake news conspiracy

jjrhbut unfortunately for them, google doesn't care about their ad dollars and scrapes their site with their 'newsstand' app or whatever it's called.
jjrhsome newspaper sites that have the 'you can read 2 articles for free then you gotta pay' thing are totally defeated by this.
