So now #WhatsApp is using their app as channel for their #disinformation

If you understand #end2endencryption, then you understand they neatly ignore that they are ripping the #metadata...

Deze analyse van het verschil tussen #WhatsApp en #signal en waarom het charme offensief van #Meta #nederland niet klopt, is 100% correct.

De #end2endencryption is maar een klein deel van het verhaal en bij de #metadata en de aanvullende diensten zit het verschil.

#Messenger-App @signalapp droht mit Rückzug aus Frankreich wegen Drogenhandelsgesetz | heise online https://www.heise.de/news/Messenger-App-Signal-droht-mit-Rueckzug-aus-Frankreich-wegen-Drogenhandelsgesetz-10323566.html #Datenschutz #privacy #encryption #Verschlüsselung #End2EndEncryption #E2EE #EndToEndEncryption

Even government officials are now telling us to use End-to-End encryption. (We've come a long way since the Clipper Chip era.) Signal is a great tool that's free and works across all major platforms. If one's circle is primarily in the Apple ecosystem, iMessage and FaceTime (including FaceTime audio) are also end-to-end encrypted.

There are plenty of other options available. Including many enterprise-friendly solutions that can be used to meet data retention/compliance/etc requirements (i.e. data is encrypted between the clients and the service, but the service retains a copy). Just make sure to read the fine-print and check for any publicly available security research before committing to a product/solution.
