WhatsApp provides no cryptographic management for group messages
The weakness creates the possibility of an insider or hacker adding rogue members.
#WhatsApp offers no cryptographic control over group messages.
Telegram lacks end-to-end encryption for group chats.
Signal requires a phone number that exposes your identity.
Time to switch to wiremin.org

Bluesky is now complying with takedown requests from the Turkish government.
If your platform can silence voices on command, itโs not yours.
We need real decentralizationโlike wiremin.org โwhere no one has that power. Not even us.
