I doubt this is news to most folks on the Fediverse, but don’t trust Twitter, Facebook, or any company whose business model is advertising to secure your private conversations.
Even if they aren’t up to no good today, it is only a matter of time until they come for your messages.
I’ve been hearing a lot of straight up adverts about WhatsApp recently, which I found interesting.
I saw a WhatsApp ad on Prime. And it was focused on the encryption aspect. "WhatsApp can't even read your messages" or whatever. Was weird.
I’m hearing a lot of that on the radio.
