  • The issue seems a bit misrepresented by the dev.

    The mentioned section of the privacy policy is true only for the logged in users that have agreed to voluntarily share their data.

    Without logging in they don’t even store a single cookie on my device.




  • Sure, buddy.

    Maybe you should read the comments you’re replying to first.
    If you can’t do that much then maybe you just shouldn’t comment at all.

    I’ll simplify it for you:

    1. Did I suggest Signal is not secure? No.
    2. Did the OP make a claim Signal is somehow the most secure chat on the planet based on non existing sources pulled out of his ass? Yes.

    Discussion quality on Lemmy starts looking like Reddit now.
    Almost feels like home…


  • OK, and how is that different from the other chats?

    You do know that at least Signal and Matrix use pretty much the same crypto, right?

    And Matrix can be self-hosted, so I don’t need to worry about what they can see anyway.
    On this point alone Matrix appears more secure than Signal…

    And Threema is Switzerland-based, so by default it’s more trustful than a USA-based company.





  • How about both?

    I’d expect the design to take into account this kind of issue, they’re only one of the most valuable companies in the world, surely they can afford some QA.






  • I don’t think it’s understandable in this case, no.

    The entire project depends on Wine, imagine if Wine devs restricted Bottles in what way they are allowed to use it just because Wine project doesn’t want to deal with bugs potentially introduced by the Bottles dev.

    But they won’t, because of the license.
    And neither can the Bottles devs.

    If they want to have total control over their source code, fine, but then they cannot claim to be open-source and release it under GPL.
