Hey! Following the #GlobalSwitchDay initiative, can you share any scandal, security problems or situations in which the proprietary apps have failed to care for their users? I would like to gather information for each app so people I know can be more informed about what they’re using. Mention things that you might even take for granted, some people are completely unaware.

The apps are: Whatsapp, Reddit, X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok.

    It’s an interesting attack, but I’d hardly call getting the location within a ±200 mile radius deanonymisation, especially if it’s so easily avoided by using a vpn.

      It’s a 0click so you have to have vpn running the entire time on any device that you install signal on
