Some are quick to promote apps as being safe for your use just because they are encrypted. I will talk about how many of the popular apps that are commonly t...
To push back on this as well, encryption only makes you a target where encryption is abnormal/illegal. For example, making an encrypted phone call in UAE via FaceTime would get flagged immediately since it’s illegal. Use of encryption in most countries is incredibly common since it’s used for banking, general websites, etc. It’s not just about messaging. Even if it was, your point stands.
Signal can track metadata
This YouTuber is actually notorious for not posting sources to his claims. Which is just goofy since he considers himself to be a source of non-mainstream information on privacy.

From my (very limited) point of view, he is just talking a lot of bullshit.
Its even counterproductive, because he is putting quite good (even tho maybe not perfect) applications on the same level as Facebook’s application, which are so different that I can’t discribe it.
Yeah definitely. He’s the type of dude to bring up a privacy concern without being realistic. It’s why I prefer Techlore. They at least talk about pros and cons in a realistic manner and understand that a lot of what we want to do with our devices will not be 100% private. It’s more so about finding they least privacy-violating service.
He annoys me so much. It’s awesome that he points out privacy issues and raises awareness. But he always points out things which are possible in theory as facts which are already happening at large. Like after some researchers showed that it might be possible to keep track of location data by using the gyroscope feature, he started to say that all non foss apps are doing that.

Yeah, without a doubt. That classifies him really well.
