[–] exu@feditown.com [S] 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I might be missing something, but I'd trust WhatsApp to leak much less data about me than Telegram or Discord. Those don't have any form of E2EE. Also, what about using Signal? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago* The way i (and many others) see it, anything that is not both open source and fully decentralized is automatically a no go. Open source for rather obvious reasons. Decentralized for less but increasingly obvious reasons (No central failure point, no central metadata collection, no central authority, no lock in). Telegram or Discord So yeah those are obviously shit too. Signal is the last centralized thing i use, but im starting to phase that out now too. With all sorts of anti E2EE sentiment and right wing parties on the rise everywhere, i would rather get rid of any communication channels that are so prone to being blocked, shut down, censored, etc. permalink fedilink source parent
