Update: I made a spreadsheet that ranks messaging apps for privacy - eviltoast

I’ve been working hard on the privacy spreadsheet, which has been in development for over 150 hours now. Its been updated, and now includes more messaging apps and more data, with a better format. I’m still working on the sidebar issue, if anyone knows how to fix it, here’s the GitHub repo: https://github.com/du82/privacyspreadsheet.com

I’m aiming to make this the most valuable resource for privacy, beyond messaging as well, but one thing at a time.

    Still very biased towards Matrix Vs XMPP when it comes to encryption. If it is “provider specific” for XMPP it should be also “provider specific” for Matrix… or rather in 99% of the cases it is not “provider specific” at all but available and enabled by default for both. That there are a few non-compliant server+client combinations is just a result of an open-source and decentralized network.

    Edit: same for the “what apps can hand over to police section”, which is also highly provider specific as it doesn’t really concern the “app” but rather the server (which can be self-hosted).
