They treat this as if e2ee was the privacy grail but it’s only marketing to fool people believing they’re protected.

The actual contents of the messages aren’t as important for privacy. It’s the Metadata and a ton of other measures rhay signal implements in their family of protocols.

Talking about e2ee and call it private shows ignorance in what privacy entails.

Your address book is uploaded to Facebook servers when you use Whatsapp. And each time you interact, they know with who and link this information with other profiles and users of the Meta products.

And it is because of these lousy developers that live inside a Google world that people don’t want to use Firefox.

They aren’t E2EE so all messages and activity are recorded. They are subject to to very different rules than regular chats or groups.

If the browser market was more evenly spread and there were more parties involved, these ideas woldn’t fly so easily.

I Spanish, the Real academia de la lengua is often used incorrectly by people as a prescriptive reference but what they really do is gather the common usages and incorporate them into the language. It’s like a descriptive record of language.

I feel more the lack of my favorite communities that haven’t made the jump. Some alternative attempts exist here but are dead. I miss the variety of topics and random discovery as well.
