Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Encrypted chat apps like Signal and WhatsApp are one of the best ways to keep your digital conversations as private as possible. But if you’re not careful with how those conversations are backed up, you can accidentally undermine your privacy.</p><p>When a conversation is properly encrypted end-to-end, it means that the contents of those messages are only viewable by the sender and the recipient. The organization that runs the messaging platform—such as Meta or Signal—does not have access to the contents of the messages. But it does have access to some metadata, like the who, where, and when of a message. Companies have different retention policies around whether they hold onto that information after the message is sent.</p><p>What happens after the messages are sent and received is entirely up to the sender and receiver. If you’re having a conversation with someone, you may choose to screenshot that conversation and save that screenshot to your computer’s desktop or phone’s camera roll. You might choose to back up your chat history, either to your personal computer or maybe even to cloud storage (services like Google Drive or iCloud, or to servers run by the application developer)."</p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/05/back-it-back-it-let-us-begin-explain-encrypted-chat-backups" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2025/05/back</span><span class="invisible">-it-back-it-let-us-begin-explain-encrypted-chat-backups</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Encryption</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Messaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Messaging</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Signal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Signal</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/WhatsApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WhatsApp</span></a></p>
Tirifto :flago_esperanto:<p>As it turns out, I still can’t exactly recommend XMPP as a communication platform. I know a lot of people here on the Fediverse like and even prefer it to other platforms like Matrix, but it just doesn’t work reliably for me. Not years ago and not now. :gutkato_disokula:</p><p>I just opened the XMPP client on my other device, navigated to a public room (group chat) I’m a part of, and the last three days’ worth of messages didn’t show up. Why? I don’t know. :gutkato_averto:</p><p>This room’s information says it should be ‘Persistent’ and ‘Archiving’. Maybe the messages are archived, but not shared to all of the room members’ devices. Maybe the room needs an extra setting to do that. Or maybe it already does that, but only if the client and the server both support XMPP Extension number 4,872 (Self-Propagating Persistent Messages, version 2). :gutkato_ŝultrumas:</p><p>It could just be this one room. It could be that the there are better clients that would inform me about this missing feature, but this one doesn’t. But as it stands, I apparently can’t just use XMPP and trust I’ll get to see the messages people sent me. With Matrix, I can. Sure, there might be a problem with encryption, but at least I’ll know someone <em>tried</em> to say something. :gutkato_ĝengrimacas:</p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://jam.xwx.moe/tag/lang_en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lang_en</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://jam.xwx.moe/tag/chat" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chat</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://jam.xwx.moe/tag/free_software" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#free_software</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://jam.xwx.moe/tag/matrix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Matrix</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://jam.xwx.moe/tag/messaging" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#messaging</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://jam.xwx.moe/tag/software" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://jam.xwx.moe/tag/xmpp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#XMPP</a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"It is remarkable to what great lengths Hegseth went to use the Signal app, because as defense secretary he has his own communications center which is specialized in keeping him in contact with anyone he wants. This center is commonly called SecDef Cables and is part of Secretary of Defense Communications (SDC) unit.</p><p>SecDef Cables provides operational information management and functions as a command and control support center. It is staffed by 26 service members and 4 civilians. They provide "comprehensive voice, video, and data capabilities to the secretary and his immediate staff, regardless of their location, across multiple platforms and classifications."</p><p>Furthermore, SecDef Cables serves as a liaison to the National Military Command Center (NMCC), the White House Situation Room, the State Department Operations Center and similar communication centers.
