A: Google & Facebook shut down their XMPP gateways to force you into their apps. All the sudden you use Pidgin to communicate with people on google & facebook. At least that was my experience. I used to use Pidgin with OTR[0] for e2e encrypted chat over google & facebook. It was pretty fantastic, messages were inaccessible to facebook and google even with a court order so I didn't need to trust them. Also used... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Why so pesimisstic. In a sane world (and probably in the world where they want to say "just use WhatsApp, we're better!") they'll say "This user is using an unencrypted app. [Paragraph about how all your nudes and contents of bank account will be stolen].

The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 5 months ago
The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org.

WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails.
