While whatsapp messages are, apparently, e2e encrypted - your phonebook and metadata are slurped up by facebook.
Signal does not have that goal and have been shown by courts documents to not store the metadata.
- anonytrary 9y agoThe Signal app asks for a ton of permissions. Apparently this isn't decentralized either, so how is it different than Facebook? Did they prove it was mathematically hard/impossible for them to see any of the (meta)data? Have they proven that they are a 100% oblivious broker?
- distances 9y agoThe courts not getting any data, as parent just mentioned, is very strong proof for that.
