    No. Never use a messenger for those things, that is legally allowed in most nations. They advertise e2e-encryption and stuff, but also need to comply to governments.

    Remember e. G. The reason telegram’s owner was kicked out of his own country because he didn’t comply to leaving a backdoor for the gov? And how it’s, in some nations, one of the only few messenger left that can be used to express a free opinion without “dissapearing” after?

    With your pics you’ll train AI-models for free at best.

    I would never ever share personal stuff over some mega-corpo’s “free” thing.

      I dont know about every country, but as far i know in germany at least you only need to disclose the information you actually have. Eg: if you dont have the encryption keys, the government cant do shit with the encrypted messages they habe

      So, correct me if im not right, but a messenger could be privacy respecting and legal at the same time

        Well, telegram e. G. Still is problematic in germany due to not complying. We in germany might be relatively safe for now, that’s true. But don’t forget what’s at dawn for us. Then tgram & co will be banned and whatscrap will thrieve even more.

        I might come across as bitter, but that’s only because i am 😁
