if everyone started to use p2p messengers with asymmetrical encryption, the EU would have very little they could do

Totally agree with you; a p2p network is resilient and unstoppable. Every user acts as a node within the p2p network, and as long as people are actively online, it can survive. This means it cannot be banned by any country or government.

Plus, since a P2P network is a decentralized network, there is no central server to store user data such as chat histories or contact lists**. From a data privacy perspective, nothing can compare with a p2p network.

I know people are quite familiar with Signal and Whatsapp due to their E2EE services. However, they are managed by tech companies and utilize a centralized network (central server = another computer). All your chat histories and data are kept in their giant computer/server. Even though it is encrypted, who in the world knows if they have memorized your private key (I think they do, by the way, because governments need these things to monitor suspicious activities or potential criminal incidents).

So, start using applications that operate on a decentralized P2P network; it is the safest way to safeguard your privacy rights.

It is not new.

Man just taking a break and comes back with hire salary.

Ditch centralized platforms.

TUCKER: “Media Matters is a censorship organization funded by George Soros and others who hate Western civilization designed to prohibit people from saying certain things.” And what they are prohibiting are the truth.

Manipulation can be stop by decentralization.

WireMin, Damus are both good choices.

An add on: WireMin, Session and SimpleX.

Yep, decentralized is the key.

It used to be a decentralized social app + a chat app. But now you can switch between them.

And we share real background information, very specific details. This could lead them to our friends and colleagues!

But I'm not sure it can be called social media, though, but if you are looking for social media platforms that can avoids data leaks, and don't ask for your personal info when register, WireMin and Damus are both good choices.

Speaking of which, we should have a version of LinkedIn that is decentralized!

Don't forget those ads on Twitter, Facebook, instagram, Youtube. They show you the product you viewed before, called re-targeting.

Censorship and Centralized manner killed all the goodness.

Since when they have the right to manage our personal info? When you click 'term of service'

They are trying to steal more info from us, thats it

First of all, this is not a spam account, so why blame me for writing a review? I am just pointing out things that I found interesting. I am not convincing or forcing anyone to download the application. As I said, 'all I need is their source code' — I am not giving my 100% trust to WireMin. I'm simply saying that if they could publish the source code, they might go viral from my perspective. That's it.

Unable to deliver on their promises? How so?

Yeah. Source code is needed, hard line.

Canada banning WeChat is a great idea, for the country's security and privacy. Speak of that, look at what Elon is doing; he keeps trying to turn Twitter into WeChat, and he won't stop until he makes it true!

In case you are not familiar with WeChat and the seriousness of its censorship toward users: 👇

We have to ditch centralized platforms for our own sake! And there are plenty of choices: Mastodon, Misskey, WireMin, Damus. (PS: WireMin is a combination of a private messenger & social media; it's my favorite for now because I get to join chat groups for anonymous discussions.)
