The latest #WhatsApp news is part of a general trend where companies erode their own privacy policies over time. It is rare that you will ever see a privacy policy update that adds clauses in its users' favour.
These companies need more data to thrive and grow. It's how they work, it's their DNA.
I believe that only communication platforms with no central ownership can be trusted. That's why I'm working hard on @snikket_im. I already migrated my family to it, and it's going great!
@mattj @snikket_im We just need more Opensource replacements for these websites and people just have to move here.
Hi @mattj ,do @snikket_im offer a translation project to community whose interest to involve?
@dagang Not yet. Currently the main user-facing text is all in the Conversations project though, so contribute there if you can! (https://www.transifex.com/siacs/conversations/). Changes there will automatically appear in the Snikket app.
In the future we will need help translating the web interface, iOS app and documentation. Will definitely make a noise when we need help with that 🙂
