In any case a service that implement E2EE is always more secure than plain data transit Even with a backdoor it’s a bit more secure than regular service

But you should be angry against the UK law cause of the probable future consequences that will impose even further surveillance for other services But people that defend it are probably mainly Apple fans. Apple is “against” to maintain a “privacy” friendly company against google and meta, but it’s bullshit

Thank you useful read

Vivaldi is not open source. For me that’s a no-go

The problem with Mullvad is that there is not port forwarding for seeding stuff

Is a self hosted VPN good for daily privacy?

Found that it is a UK based society where did you find that it was Israeli?

Basically any cheap VPN is good for torrenting as we don’t need complete anonymity but more of a proxy like connection, to not receive letters from ISPs telling us our use of internet

In my opinion you should enable it

Didn’t watch out for reasons, maybe iron wolf gives one?

Hello ChatControl 👋

Seriously again a ridiculous law… This is a pure non-sense, in theory you should be afraid, in the reality such a law wouldn’t be applied by Signal for example, and you would find alternative to these backdoored apps, such as SimpleX or others… BUT we need to fight against it, it’s a big no go for future privacy! Keep fighting and fuck these guys!

Note : Even if Tuta is concerned it wouldn’t change much… Today gmail is more than 70% of emails so in this case the privacy is equal to 0. Email is not secured at the foundation and with google in the equation, it’s hard to fight against

The real alternative to Signal for myself is SimpleX. The project is still in his beginning but it’s the best instant messaging we could have once polished finished

Legally they have to, but in reality they almost don’t have really the right to hold and collect them so it would be impossible to remove data from them AND even they said they have removed it… Who can prove that it is true?

I don’t understand how this could not be a scam. In which cases they would successfully remove datas from data brockers?

Vaultwarden is not to be used in itself you can for example use the bitwarden app but with your vaultwarden server

If you can’t self host --> KeePass If you can self host --> Vaultwarden

Simplex uses Severs, you can bring your own one, but it is not peer to peer when talking about direct communication to the recipient

If you don’t want to use internet the only ways are to use radio or deploy your own network infrastructure (optic fiber or cell tower), so there’s no really any messaging app that can be used without internet. Briar can use Bluetooth but with a limited range, needing an actual dense mesh network.

From a previous reply that I made :

Even with a VPN I don’t know if request are really that anonymous (anonimity is almost impossible to get)

The problem is that you can’t customize default settings
