Also the blatant dismissal of absolitely basic #OpSec & #ComSec is just flabberghasting.

Only #decentralized, #OpenSource & #OpenStandards can actuall survive long-term and remain #secure.

It's the same reasons we use #PGPG/MIME & #SSH and not #X400 & #X25!

IOW: Think "How can you weaponize Signal?" and see what you csn do just holding key people in contempt...

The less #info a provider has, the less they can be forced to snitch upon customers.

"#JustUseSgnal!" is a form of dangerous "#TechPopulism" aimed at bamboozling #TechIlliterates who don't know better, abusing information asymetry to pull rank instead of investing the time and effort to *explain "how" and "why" this is indeed a good or bad idea.

The only ones that have a chance to beat that are @delta / #deltaChat but that's just #PGP/MIME #eMail in a nice UI...

  • You may now laugh at me and think my "#TinfoilHat sits too tight" but I'm shure sooner or later I'll be evidenced as correct...
Hachyderm.ioCassandrich (@dalias@hachyderm.io)@kkarhan@infosec.space @signalapp@mastodon.world @monocles@monocles.social @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org Very few systems promoted as Signal alternatives match the cryptographic privacy properties (see: ratcheting, etc.) of Signal. The claims about "located in the USA" and "Cloud Act" are all nonsense because the only threat to Signal users from this is availability (seizure and shutdown of the server infrastructure), not undetected breakage of privacy properties. There are presently no systems with superior privacy properties to Signal *and* level of functionality on par with what general public expects. There are a lot (like the XMPP stuff, *sigh*, and Matrix) that are worse in both regards. If you're happy with reduced functionality, Cwtch (and possibly some other similar Tor-based systems) or VeilidChat are stronger, but it's gonna be a while before you convince normies to use them, and in the mean time they're still going to be on insecure shit like WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Telegram, etc...

@femme_mal @Catawu @DamonWakes @lrhodes @nazgul either way I'm convinced this shit is so flatout illegal in the EU that it's literally a felony in places like Germany, where even having such functionality may fall under "production, possession, distribution and use of tools to facilitate data manipulation and/or extraction against the owners' consent" (§202c penal code)...

But that's just my opinion, and #NotLegalAdvice!

@Jain Weißt schon dass Leute #FakeNews, #QuatschJura und #Lügen posten und teilen nicht trotz sondern gerade weil diese als solche ebttarnt werden!

#CounterSpeech ist nutzlos und eine reine Zeit-und Energieverschwensung, denn die Leute wissen, dass diese shice verzapfen und teilen...

Gibt dazu sogar Studien mit fokus auf #NSAbook und wie Algorithmen die #Screentime maximieren daraus abzielen #Doomscrolling und #Echokammern zu fördern!

@Jain @jwildeboer Eeyupp...

Ro is an asshole and he has proven that time and time again...

Just like the entire #TheBadSpace gang...

If there are reasons to ban instances that federate with #NSAbook / #StasiBook aka. #Meta nee #Facebook [or other problematic instances like h-i.social ], he's one of the people creating them on a #SilverPlatter...
