[QUOTE="nurmagoz, post: 1121275, member: 106634"] Should we really be betting our privacy on how these companies handle government pressure? Even in democratic countries it’s ultimately a business decision for them. For those with strict privacy needs, it might be worth considering apps that don’t collect any data, like decentralized options (SimpleX, Wiremin). Unlike Signal they even avoid requiring phone numbers. If they don’t collect any data in the first place, there’s nothing for them to provide to the government right? But I must admit that I try out different private messengers because it’s my little hobby. While messengers like wiremin offer smooth messaging and calls, it’s hard to convince my friends and family to switch, as it’s just too private for the average user. [/QUOTE]
