- tprynn 11y agoHere's a quote from a post I enjoyed (https://www.elttam.com.au/blog/a-review-of-the-eff-secure-messaging-scorecard-pt1/ https://www.elttam.com.au/blog/a-review-of-the-eff-secure-me...): > This type of score card drastically simplifies the problem domain, and leads one to question what the tradeoffs are when installing an application from the list. While the advocacy of privacy based communication is something we love to see reach a mainstream audience, we believe the scorecard misses many considerations and metrics that are critical to the discussion. To quote myself: > The EFF score card is an embarrassment which is essentially equivalent to one of those "comparison table of our competitors" on a SaaS website. That's a good analogy for it, because it uses the same questionable metrics and even more questionable ranking system that one of those tables would use. The score card gives Signal the same ranking as Cryptocat - that's an instant negative result for its usefulness.
