Official statement from @Mer__edith: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding.

Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities.

@echo_pbreyer Please keep the Toots accessible and readable for all by not mixing the hashtags with the sentence you want people to read. "Don’t insert hashtags inline. Add hashtags at the end of a post caption, not in the middle of a sentence, as that creates interruptions for screen readers."

Social Media Marketing & Management Dashboard · Social Media Accessibility: Inclusive Design Tips for 2024Inclusive design may seem like the domain of UX designers and web developers. But social media marketers should practice it, too.

@echo_pbreyer @signalapp @Mer__edith I think that was clearly stated in the quote I included in my last reply. Let me reword that: a) it interrupts screen readers, which are something some people rely on frequently. The reason is accessibility. b) It makes it harder for dyslexic people to read the text.
I see no good arguments pro placing hashtags in-line. If you've got one, please tell me. The above mentioned are just two contra arguments and there are others that may be less important.

@paavi @signalapp @Mer__edith Should be possible to set screen readers to ignore the "#" sign? It's easier to promote hashtags if not hiding them below a message - plus there are the character limits.

@echo_pbreyer It's easier to stick to accessibility recommendations than to fix this issue by altering software needed daily by people who depend on them and yet still have no control over the functions of the tools they depend on. This also in no way fixes the issue of the message being harder to read for dyslexic people.
Do I get a little bit of "Why should I alter my behaviour or actions?" here or what? @signalapp @Mer__edith
