They were going to kill Infinity. Still worked on July 1st but decided to just preemptively pull thr plug

Is there a non-paywalled link? The archive.org link doesn’t seem to work

Is there a more recent list?

Thank you! On Firefox mobile it asks you to download the app to read but not ln Brave mobile. reazlied that after reading the pastebin entry.

I heard similar things. It just really sucks that WhatsApp collects everything they can besides the content.

Thanks everyone on sharing your thoughts ln this! This has been really helpful!

I see some saying their policy says one thing about cooperation with law enforcement but they seem to have been doing just the opposite, reducing the trust overall in the rest of their promises (e.g. their data collection).

Some compared to the closer to ideal apps such as Signal or Matrix in terms of privacy.

I’m curious to also hear what do you do to compromise to keep your social connections? The practical side of navigating the current state of the Internet and people’s social life.

It’s been an uphill battle with asking folks to use Signal, and Telegram seem to be better than giving out info to Meta.

Would you rather lose a contact if they insist on a communication channel that’s leaking metadata but the content is e2ee (WhatsApp for example)? (Or perhaps in your view keeping the content secure is more important than anything?)

Asking out of curiosity, I’m aware that every person has their own threat model

I was afraid of that outcome and went for the auto-delete option, some groups have just a few days in terms of retention.

I’m sorry you had to go through this though.

True. There’s some trust involved there still, but way less trust needed than with a company that simply doesn’t publish its server code.

I see a pattern of a lack of transparency here indeed, thanks.

I’m hoping for some major event to push people to Signal and/or Matrix. Struggling to see how else might a migration trend happen.
