if everyone started to use p2p messengers with asymmetrical encryption, the EU would have very little they could do
Totally agree with you; a p2p network is resilient and unstoppable. Every user acts as a node within the p2p network, and as long as people are actively online, it can survive. This means it cannot be banned by any country or government.
Plus, since a P2P network is a decentralized network, there is no central server to store user data such as chat histories or contact lists**. From a data privacy perspective, nothing can compare with a p2p network.
I know people are quite familiar with Signal and Whatsapp due to their E2EE services. However, they are managed by tech companies and utilize a centralized network (central server = another computer). All your chat histories and data are kept in their giant computer/server. Even though it is encrypted, who in the world knows if they have memorized your private key (I think they do, by the way, because governments need these things to monitor suspicious activities or potential criminal incidents).
So, start using applications that operate on a decentralized P2P network; it is the safest way to safeguard your privacy rights.

Ditch centralized platforms.
TUCKER: “Media Matters is a censorship organization funded by George Soros and others who hate Western civilization designed to prohibit people from saying certain things.” And what they are prohibiting are the truth.
Manipulation can be stop by decentralization.

It used to be a decentralized social app + a chat app. But now you can switch between them.

It seems useless to me, at least regarding the cybersecurity aspect. Of course, it's helpful when people ask for my contact information, and I don't want to share my phone number or email address. But they still require information that could be used to prove or be linked to my identity for registration, right? This means a hacker could still reveal your IP address, phone number, email, and your passcode. Likewise, the development team can access these as well. I know I'm overly cautious about my privacy, but that's just how I am.
Monopolistic.....

And we share real background information, very specific details. This could lead them to our friends and colleagues!
But I'm not sure it can be called social media, though, but if you are looking for social media platforms that can avoids data leaks, and don't ask for your personal info when register, WireMin and Damus are both good choices.
Speaking of which, we should have a version of LinkedIn that is decentralized!

Don't forget those ads on Twitter, Facebook, instagram, Youtube. They show you the product you viewed before, called re-targeting.
The same threat actor has leaked larger amounts of data from LinkedIn dated 2023. They claim this new data contains 35M lines and is 12 GB uncompressed.

First of all, this is not a spam account, so why blame me for writing a review? I am just pointing out things that I found interesting. I am not convincing or forcing anyone to download the application. As I said, 'all I need is their source code' — I am not giving my 100% trust to WireMin. I'm simply saying that if they could publish the source code, they might go viral from my perspective. That's it.

Canada banning WeChat is a great idea, for the country's security and privacy. Speak of that, look at what Elon is doing; he keeps trying to turn Twitter into WeChat, and he won't stop until he makes it true!
In case you are not familiar with WeChat and the seriousness of its censorship toward users: 👇
We have to ditch centralized platforms for our own sake! And there are plenty of choices: Mastodon, Misskey, WireMin, Damus. (PS: WireMin is a combination of a private messenger & social media; it's my favorite for now because I get to join chat groups for anonymous discussions.)

A year after he bought Twitter for $44 billion, Musk thinks the company is now worth $19 billion, a 55 percent drop. Let's recap what he did to Twitter, I will go first: - Changed the original name Twitter to X.

Big techs' have forgotten that social media is for people to interact and connect. Our data belongs to us, and no one has the right to use it without permission.

I believe the "Online Safety Bill" should be renamed the "Online Exposure Bill," and here's why: 1. Age verification likely involves estimating age based on **biometric data** – essentially, using an algorithm to scan a photo or video of the user." making our **identity transparent in the digital world.** 2. "Client-side scanning, where a phone or other device would **scan the content of a message before it’s encrypted** and flag or block violating material." This effectively renders E2EE (End-to-End Encryption) useless!
This occurs because some platforms sell real phone numbers that haven't been registered on Telegram(or other platforms require phone number or email to register), as well as email addresses. We should be cautious about sharing our phone number or email address online. Once it's out there, it can be challenging to erase, cuz they are all saved in a cloud server, and keeping everything in one place is easy for hacker to attack(don't ask me y). **Now, Twitter/X requires users to verify their ID** From my perspective, the digital realm should remain separate from our offline lives. Internet exists because it offers us capabilities that are restricted in the physical world. People should really start to migrate. I only use Twitter for daily news check, for other communication or disscussion needs. **What are you guys using for these services?** I use WireMin, cuz it is decentralized, which means no central cloud server to keep our data, and not require personal info to create an ID.

Elon is always obsessed with WeChat's model. (For those who don't know about WeChat, it is basically the name of the 'Everything app'.) Everything in one single point is pretty convenient but has led to a bunch of risks... Leave a risk that you know in the comment.

He is trying to be the master of data in this world
