Privacy@lemmy.ml•EU Commission bans top officials from using Signal groups
13·3 days agoThe decision was made according to the report after the Commission became aware of the group’s existence last month and deemed the risk of compromise too high. While there is no evidence yet that communication has actually been intercepted, the threat situation has escalated. Just recently, a private phone call between a journalist and an EU official was intercepted and published. Insiders also report sophisticated phishing attempts. These were intended to trick cabinet members into revealing their Signal PIN codes, thus causing them to lose control of their accounts.
looks like theyre concerned about targeted phishing attacks and organizations being unable to control user accounts from the top down (and thus read their communications) in order to reinstate and do damage control surrounding a negligent user after an attack. ultimately the user is getting tricked into revealing their password, so… human element. perhaps matrix would be best for large organizations like this, for individuals however simplex chat has no identifier tied to the account and in order to compromise a chat theyd need direct access to the computer or the simplex database export afaik, but all programs are vulnerable in that way.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How would you respond to the statement "Trans women are biologically male" ?
91·8 days agothere are many types of chromosomes outside of xy and xx. and they are about as common as being trans. shit, its fairly common for karyotype tests to come back with only an x for people past a certain age, a lot of people lose their second sex chromosome over time. this would make many people have an unverifiable ‘birth sex’ beyond just what is physically in their pants
even if i did have an xy chromosome (i dont even know if i do) being biologically male or female is nebulous. “biological men” dont have big feminine tits and estrogen in them for decades, but i do. so at minimum i am something not phenotypically or biologically male or female despite identifying as a trans woman

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Signal Founder Moxie Marlinspike: Telegram is not private. There is nothing private about it. They've done a really amazing job of convincing the world that this is an encrypted messaging app
13·1 month agoI really want simplexchat to evolve and get more features. If they ever make a lot of mod tools and the possibility to make giant servers with thousands with chatrooms like discord I could see it having mass appeal due to the ease of “signup”

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Do you prefer XMPP or Matrix powered apps as a discord alternative?
1·1 month agoyeah i hope matrix just fixes things up to make the experience smoother. seems to be taking them forever. it not being on by default is a nonstarter im not going to explain to my non tech friends how to encrypt their messages. this is basically the only real reason why signal is so great, its easy and preset out of the box. simplex seems good too and is making more progress than matrix it seems, idk how many users it can have in one chat though
