I've been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.

I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on GitHub.

Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.

Not that I give a shit, but I can see you potentially catching some flack for listing the USA as an "authoritarian regime" lmfao

    Lets be honest, its not much different from China. They both make social media companies censor, and they both track citizens to predict their likliness of committing a crime in the future.

    Authoritarianism

    Minimally defined, an authoritarian government lacks free and competitive direct elections to legislatures, free and competitive direct or indirect elections for executives, or both. Broadly defined, authoritarian states include countries that lack civil liberties such as freedom of religion, or countries in which the government and the opposition do not alternate in power at least once following free elections

    Words have meanings. The United States does not meet the definition of authoritarianism.

    I wouldn't say worse than China, but I'd say they're both equal, in their own way.

    It's the nature of state politics and security. I'd bet even money every government on the planet is equally bad, up to the resources they have at their disposal.

    Remember, all governments are collections of individuals, and individuals range in their morality.

    Certain types are attracted to certain opportunities...like the power of government.
