@Em0nM4stodon Yes, great time to get off legacy unencrypted calls and SMS texts, especially after the #SaltTyphoon, incident, and get on a data plan to use with #e2ee apps/protocols like #Signal, #Matrix, #XMPP, #DeltaChat, #SimpleX, #Briar, etc.

A phone number is now your surveillance #citizenID number now, so do not share it even with others as they will only upload it to their Big tech address books.

Also, threat actors don't need QuantumComputing to to break e2ee when they can get it from you copilot or other #clientsidescanning AI they are putting to protect the children, of course.

In general, e2ee on proprietary, closed source operating systems like Microsoft Windows and Google Android sort of misses the point.

Thanks for reading my rant, and please feel free to suggest improvements :)

@eff I rather prefer something like #SimpleX. Decentralized, not related on some US hosted big-corpo backends and not demanding stuff like phone numbers.
