By “shared” servers I mean hosters like https://tchncs.de/en/ who offer a bunch of services (they do a great job at it by the way) including Matrix and Lemmy.
I’m thinking of moving my close family to a Matrix chat over there, but I guess long term they might have to implement the ChatControl scanning.
This whole thing is just stupid.
Moving away from WhatsApp might reduce how many people can access your messages, but you can still assume your messages will be scanned and indexed no matter what app you use
I’m actively looking at used Pixels with GrapheneOS installed, they aren’t that pricy these days, but even without those already getting rid of the app-level scanning would be an improvement.
I beat you to the punch there 😉
If you get a Pixel with GrapheneOS preinstalled, please please PLEASE do your own fresh installation of GrapheneOS anyways. You can’t trust what some third party may have done with it before you get it.
Of course, that’s the plan. Having it preinstalled is just to make sure the device was able to run it before I reinstall myself.
GrapheneOS probably a big step for reducing the number of people with access, I think
It’s definitely going to be context-based:
