@ibnunowshad @not2b @Tutanota It's definitely possible to perform E2E encryption between more than just two endpoints. @not2b @Tutanota Haha, end to end does mean what it says, you encrypt, receiver decrypt. But if someone has your keys, they can decrypt as well. And yes facebook has those keys on their servers and they likely have access to those keys. I remember how people were surprised that facebook ads showed stuff they mentioned only on whatsapp. I do use Signal. I wouldn't trust Facebook, or any of big tech company for that matter. @dieTasse @Tutanota Oh, I don't trust him. They collect metadata, for instance (who is talking to whom). When a message is flagged as abusive it is sent to moderators (similarly if you send someone a Signal message they can forward it to the cops). But no, I don't believe you get ads because of things you said on WA. @Tutanota We are now challenging this order to ban #element and #briar at High Court of the southern state of #Kerala https://sflc.in/defending-digital-rights-sflc-in-assists-in-challenging-ban-on-apps/ @Tutanota This is really bad! Many products can be used for good as well as bad. You just can't ban them cause they are used by terrorists or something! At the most, one can consider using unbaised classification algorithms for detecting terrorism but should be done completely anonymously without storing any data to the algorithm so then compaines cannot take data and the apps shall be terrorism free! @Tutanota Maybe if people boycott india then They will think twice... #India #boycottindia I hope India should never get the realisation that a terrorist can still run his own end to end encrypted chat service on the Internet. If ever they realise this fact, they might ban the Internet on whole. @Tutanota@mastodon.social I need #privacy, not because my #actions are #questionable but because your #judgement and #intentions are. 'nough said. @Tutanota Cars and airplanes have been used by more terrorists. They should have banned these first. @ Tutanota |
