I’ve been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.
I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It’s all open source too on GitHub.
Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.
A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Yes
I don’t think wire is the best privacy wise

Those are proprietary massagers. I though we were talking about secure messaging. When it comes to messages that have a reasonable level of transparency Signal is the only one I know that requires a phone. I’m comparing it to Briar, Simplex chat and Session.
