      WhatsApp bad. Telegram bad. Paranoia good.

        I feel like that’s common knowledge, no?

          Maybe in a privacy community, but not universally.

            Were quite literally in “c/privacy”

              And not everyone viewing these posts is a member of the community. For instance, I saw it browsing All.

        Seems a good summary even if I didn’t watch the vid. We’ve heard these talking points a million times by now.

        But I’d say the problem is not that so much that it’s paranoid as that it’s unrealistic. A messenger is not a weather app. You can’t just “change” it, you first need to ask everybody else in the world to change theirs too. Which obviously isn’t gonna happen.

        Reminded me of a basque song “El ojo te ve” from La Polla Records. “You’ll be paranoid If you want privacy”. Sad to see truth today in words spoken in 1994
