Signal Is More Than Encrypted Messaging. Under Meredith Whittaker, It’s Out to Prove Surveillance Capitalism Wrong

Jump

  • And thanks to their Signal connection graph, the government can easily tell what other people they communicate privately with.

    So what? I'm sure your neighbor couple talk privately to each other most of the time and you know that happens. The important part is that the conversation is private.

    Signal is not an anonymous messenger app. It never claimed to be. It's for you to have a private conversation where your device holds the encryption keys.

    Not like WhatsApp, where Meta has access to the keys of all conversations. Also 95 % of the worlds population is on WhatsApp, so why don't you go and complain to them for lack of privacy and security?

    If you want an "anonymous" chat client they are out there to use. Good luck getting more people onboard other than your savy friend.

    • I got a new job. whatsapp group (20 people) is migrating to signal because I don't use it.

  • Well, they partly took that "feature" away because people thought they were sending encrypted SMS messages which is not true. False sense of security.

    They just took the secure high road and ditched SMS. It also made the app leaner with a smaller attack surface.

    I think they did the right decision. Signal is the secure choice for the masses.

    Having said that, I'm using Molly-Foss as it has less footprints, no Google messaging framework, leaner than Signal, with no crypto payment, and an encrypted database at rest.

  • More importantly, Meta also has the encryption keys of any WhatsApp conversation.

    It's like a fucking META password manager that unlocks your vault.. (...as in your WhatsApp conversations) and locks it when they are done spying, whenever they feel like. Repeatedly.

    You have no control, as in a secure private conversation unless you have the keys on your device.

    • Migrating system to NVME RAID

  • Nice!

    Thanks for the info.

    Been eying one for quite a while. I have read that the build quality is good too. Along with a good cooling solution.

    I'm actually thinking of using it as a replacement for my desktop/gaming machine. I only play 1 or 2 games anyway. Nothing the 780m can't handle with ease. Also planning on 24/7 operation due to the much lower wattage.

  • I bought a minisforum um890 recently.

    How do you like it? I'm planning of buying one and putting Proxmox on it.
