You completely forgot Briar, it has all the requirements and it is trusted by journalists in conflict zones. No centralized server, open source, no identifiable personal data and NO phone number required. All its comms are routed through Tor. Without it the rest of the world would not know what is going on in Madagascar, in Haiti, in Myanmar, in South Africa, in Cuba, in Ethiopia, in Afghanistan, China or in Nigeria. Even Mohammad IV of Morocco trembles at the thought of Briar. 😅

@alfredharrison597

Жыл бұрын

If I was sitting next to you I would be able to hear what you are saying. Or if someone was sitting next to your recipient they could also hear you. Digital Walkie is nothing more than E2E voice chat. Its basically using a normal phone but one-way two-way comms. Meaning you talk and the other person has to wait until you send and they respond, etc. Its basically vent or TS3 or (now discord) but the other person cannot interrupt you while you are talking because it records a compressed audio file with low bitrate, sends it, then deletes it. True walkies use real time on the bandwidth that everyone can use unless opsec us using a secure channel, but secure channels can still be decrypted - but real time radio channel decryption is harder than it used to be. Its probably best to just use a text-based E2EE program/app that has zero to little metadata and doesnt req. a phone number. There are a few out there, but its very hard to find good ones.

It's important to understand that Signal segregates messages from any messages that you've sent with other apps. If you stop using Signal, you have to keep it installed to see the messages sent and received with it. You cannot integrate those messages back into the main body of your non-Signal messages. Signal also stores messages in a location on the phone different from the normal one, so backup apps that send your messages to an email inbox for long-term storage and access will not work with it.
