Thank you for that info and the link I'll go into that. Just to summarize, if you have the knowledge and time: this is at-rest encryption? I'm not sure how it could be end-to-end encryption and at the same time enable to start new conversations with other Signal users / discovery based on name / phone number

Nope only the message content is encrypted. So what they have unencrypted is of course your personal information (phone number etc), all your contacts, and the list of all messages sent (datetime, and contact or contacts). This enable them to have a great social map that evolves after each message sent

And that is if the encryption remain unbroken. Don't forget that the NSA has a history of placing backdors in cryptography schemes (like that mathematically flawed key based on a weak elliptic curve, standardized and approved by the NSA after they found their exploit)

You can find this online easily. Some of the things are: they've been funded by the Open Technology Fund, created for Radio Free Asia, which is a program by the CIA. The fund is now financed by the US Congress

That's the thing. Anonymity on the internet should enable people to protect themselves against unethical laws. Law is not correct, it's just law

Is this about message content security or privacy?

I would love to have more insights on Beeper actual privacy. But one think to keep in mind is that they are subject to Cloud Act.

Specifically for OP: since you post on this privacy focused community but also are not very clear with your intent, I just want to remind that Signal is not the best messaging app when it comes to privacy, especially because of its close relation to CIA

Americans? You mean usians surely

No, not all error have security implications

I knew what it was but I had to click

Why specify Chinese? Any private social media mobile app is spyware

Kahoot is funny for me

I hope it's part of the meme and not the original

Thank you for redirecting there. I actually had physics classes in my higher education but I'm a bit confused on when particule behavior and wave behavior manifest now that's it's been some years

Why do you think it's more spyware than any other big tech mobile app or social media?

And based on my experience getting hooked so fast into while I didn't want to touch it, it seems it has the best algorithm. I'm off it now, like all other social media expect for fediverse, but I can testify on this
