    This shit is why end to end encryption is so important.

    All platforms, no matter how trustworthy, can be corrupted. No e2e, no privacy.

      Useless. Current allegations are related to the absence of moderation. Moderation of public content, in public channels or chats. As you can guess, end to end encryption does not protect public content.

      E2E is just one part of the puzzle, you got to have a open source P2P or federated architecture as well, otherwise you have to trust a nebulous company or person intrinsically. People change and companies can be bought, but you will be stuck with their platform in order to contact your acquaintances, and changing that means loosing your contacts.

      That is why the DMA is important. But you will be even better off just directly choosing a chat platform, where the users are in control.
