Our good friend Elon cannot be trusted? I don't believe you, this must be propaganda to discredit his good manners.

Quick everyone, install this just so that if Pete Hegseth invites people to the next airstrikes chat group, your satirical JD Vance account will be next to the real JD Vance's account and he'll probably add you both and figure it out later.

Never trust any social media sites "private" chat.

Especially not one of the big ones run by weirdo fascists. You know Elmo is going to snoop on anyone relatively famous, or that just say something he doesn't like.

In all honesty, there's zero reason to even have accounts on them

Even if the server had zero knowledge of your private keys (which is doubtful), I'm sure the client code won't have any backdoors. It's only the social media "platform" owned by the world's most thin-skinned billionaire.

if (message.contains("elon") || message.contains("musk")) {
    upload(chat.privateKey)
}

I don't trust anything coming out of Elon's fascisthole. Deleted the app when he bought it and never looked back.

I wouldnt trust X with a picture of my shoes

It’s like a regular encrypted chat but with peepholes and racism.

[–] Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Don't trust it at all.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 3 points 1 week ago

Cool, and I bet it will be just as trustworthy as WhatsApp (i.e. not at all).

I do really like E2EE but why do I need it in everything?

If I want to talk to someone I would rather them message me on Signal or something that I trust more.

Yeah, way too many services have chats. I think it's because every large platform wants to be an "everything app". Messaging is a really easy to feature to implement to (theoretically) add value.

LOL nope. I'd use anything else. As in NO X.

It was eyerolling back when that dickhead decided to sell blue checkmarks instead of issuing them only to verified celebrities.
