Basically only Signal + Whatsapp.
> claiming they don't do anything for privacy.
Well, Signal is kind of a scam in that regard.
- codethief 2y agoHow is Signal "a kind of scam in that regard"?
- foverzar 2y agoGovernment funding? Mandatory phone number exposure? (or did they finally implement usernames?) A joke of a "registration lock pin" instead a proper 2FA to protect against sim-swap?
- literallycancer 2y agoFunding source is irrelevant.
- Synaesthesia 2y agoKind of important for trust reasons.
- kome 2y agothat's honestly quite naive
- tapoxi 2y agoYes they implemented usernames earlier this year. They are fully rolled out and don't expose your phone number. They received $3 million from the open technology fund, which is a government sponsored fund for censorship circumvention projects. https://www.opentech.fund/about/congressional-remit/ https://www.opentech.fund/about/congressional-remit/
