good luck getting everyone you know to communicate with you with "software from GitHub or F-Droid or something". I'm having a hard time making people try out Signal, which is freely available on the major app stores (and which, by the way, has declared that they'll leave the EU market if one device scanning will be enforced on them).
I think this would give me a reason to tell my contacts why I refuse from now on to use whatsapp for instance. I could say something like whatsapp now scans every single photo you send, therefore I won't use it so contact me on some other place.
Good luck with it, mister/miss
Thank you, good luck to you too
That's sad but try to "afraid" a bit that's almost the only way to convinced non-privacy guy to switch...
Sorry, what does "unfraid" mean?
Afraid sorry
Signal is great but lack some points, like the requirement of the mobile number or the centralisation of the servers
okay, but that's not relevant to what I'm talking about here.
Right sorry
I wasn't even talking about such cases. I was talking about people who need really secure and private communication in that particular comment
