Here’s which messaging app is most secure, according to experts

Signal is widely considered the most secure consumer messaging app because third parties can verify its security claims, and the company does not have access to metadata about your conversations

@sebiturbo Du kannst mal im angehängten Link schauen.

#threema wäre eine sehr gute Option.
In meinen Augen ist auch #signal immer noch eine gute Alternative. Das es von fragwürdigen Menschen genutzt wird ist nicht die Schuld der Software 😉
Das kannst du auf jede Software umlegen 😂
Da bleibt dann nicht mehr viel übrig 😁

Seymour Hersh · THE SIGNAL LEAK AND THE BOMBING OF YEMENBy Seymour Hersh

Wow! I think what I thought was previously impossible seems to have the best chance of success in a long time - getting my family and friends from Whatsapp to Signal! Up until now things are looking great!

The free PR for Signal by the White House 😂, compared with an upsurge in antipathy toward any company associating themselves with the crazies there (and I feel generally rising anti-Americanism, I am sorry to say my US friends, hold on over there ♥️) has opened a real window of opportunity here.

If you are looking to get people in your life away from Meta, this might be the chance.

💾 Hello Fediverse, after a long and dreadful march of persuasion through my contacts, I'm finally about to uninstall #Whatsapp. However, there's a group of people that organizes there, so I want to ask you:

Is there some #Fdroid app or other method to bridge Whatsapp messages to #Telegram or #Signal? I know interoperability is a big ask, but jusg being able to read when they meet would be enough.

Boosts appreciated, so if a solution is found, more people get to know about it!

The review also will “review compliance with classification & records retention requirements,” Stebbins wrote. He requested that the #Defense Dept designate 2 points of contact within 5 days, with work done both in Washington & at the headquarters of US Central Command in Tampa, Florida.

The #Defense Dept inspector general’s office said Thurs that it will scrutinize top #Trump admin officials’ use of #Signal, an unclassified messaging app to coordinate a highly sensitive #military operation last month in Yemen, complying with a request from #Republicans & #Democrats in #Congress.
