A Win for Encryption: France Rejects Backdoor Mandate
The French National Assembly on March 20, 2025, voted against Article 8 from an anti-drug trafficking bill that would have gutted end-to-end encryption. The proposal required messaging platforms such as Signal and WhatsApp to implement backdoor access through a "ghost participant" model for encrypted communications.
The Assembly made privacy its top priority achieving a major victory. The EU's Chat Control proposal represents one of many similar measures that continue to exist globally. The presence of backdoors in systems creates vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit.

Ping Browser: Just a Brave rebrand, or something actually new?
The Ping Browser, which emerged as a second-place winner in India’s Web Browser Development Challenge, is now facing accusations of being just a Brave Browser rebrand while receiving ₹75 lakhs in government funding. The "Atmanirbhar" initiative aimed at developing local technology sparked a controversy that initiated discussions about innovation practices, ethical standards, and taxpayer money usage.
TX and their team (Google Document), including @_mostwanted002_, @eshwnsingh, and @0xcowsecurity, accused Ping Browser of being a rebranded version of Brave Browser, an open-source browser focused on privacy. Their research revealed that Ping’s installer, "ping_installer (1).exe" contains files like "brave.exe" and "chrome_proxy.exe," with a directory structure being ditto same as Brave’s.
Ping’s GitHub repository, "ping-browser/ping-core," is a public fork of Brave’s "brave-core," with commits showing minimal changes like syncing with Brave’s updates and adding features such as a PDF signer and parental control extension. They didn't even make the repositories private. This "white-labelling" violates the competition’s spirit, with TX calling the ₹75 lakhs prize a "waste of hard-earned taxpayer’s money." This also violates Brave's terms of use.
Ping Browser is linked to FutureFlare Technologies LLP, its parent company, registered in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, at a farm address, as per its business profile on Falcon Ebiz. The company which has been active for about a year lists three directors, including Uday Bansal and his parents showing it operates as a family business. Despite its registration in Ghaziabad, Ping claims its headquarters are in Bengaluru, a hub for tech innovation. So fishy, lol.
Uday Bansal, identified as Ping’s founder responded to the allegations on LinkedIn. In replies, Bansal attributed the issue to an executable path bug causing conflicts with Brave, which he said is being fixed. He defended Ping’s compliance with the MPL-2.0 license (sections 3.2 and 3.3) and highlighted added features: Parental Controls, AI Summarizer & Rephraser, Hardware Token-Based Signatures, and Indian Root Certificate Support. Bansal even mentioned the video tour of Ping (attached) to demonstrate its functionality, comparing its development to Brave’s evolution on Chromium.
Uday Bansal also got a shoutout from his cousin brother Rachit Agarwal who works at Wormhome, a crypto firm. Rachit mentioned how they worked on probable startups and sought VC funding for a crypto payment and a T-shirt brand.
UPDATE: The funds of the prizes (₹75 lakhs for Team Ping and other prizes) have not been released as of 23rd March 2025.

As governments and users alike reassess their relationship with tech, especially in light of escalating geopolitical tensions, there has been a huge increase in demand for independent, non-aligned, and values-driven solutions. Europe needs European alternatives. In fact, everybody deserves European alternatives. And with Vivaldi and Proton, you’re getting exactly that.- Vivaldi CEO
