Oddbean new post about login | logout Apple makes us declare that we are using standard encryption techniques before we push to the app store in france. Kind of sus that they only have issues with non-standard encryption. It’s not clear if nip04 or nip44 quality for the exception. https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/export-compliance-documentation-for-encryption/ nostr:note169urahxw2l4t7rxrtljrs5acwk9jpj792tqsevy303ymxrhzumasq20w8x

Encryption items can be used to maintain the secrecy of information... 👍 and thereby may be used by persons abroad to harm U.S. national security, foreign policy and law enforcement interests. 🚩 The United States has a critical interest in ensuring that important and sensitive information of the public and private sector is protected. 👍 This is complete double speak. Are they suggesting that you being able to keep a secret harms my ability to keep a secret?
why participate in that nonsense?
Seems to me running decentralized nostr apps on a centralized OS is a oxymoron. There should be a bigger push to let people know to make their next mobile device be a Pixel phone with GrapheneOS. What is happening in France is likely going to happen else where too.
But that's US exports, not French imports. That's still a leftover from the 1990's crypto wars.
If it was US exports, wouldn't it be required to do that for all stores? Why specifically French?
Last time I published an app, a few years ago, it was required for all stores, I didn't see anything France specific.
Okay, then maybe I misunderstood Will. He can clarify.
