Rob uses FEAR TO PROMOTE HIS PRODUCTS and he doesn't care about educating people in privacy

Proton did pretty good.

Pi VPN w/ Pi Hole. Keeping things under my control (and responsibility).

The Russian developer of Telegram, after allegedly talking to some “important” people, claims that Signal is exploited by courts from the evil USA. If you're not surprised by Russians blaming the US, you have to give this post a thumbs up.

Proton and Signal are, imho, the leading defenders of standing firm on privacy. They make space for smaller privacy entities to exist. If they aren’t supported, Then it falls to the good will of US corporations, which we know can’t stand nearly as long against legal intrusions. Proton and Signal are the tip of the spear, and are doing it right while not giving any reason to get shut down.

Well done! Thank you!

Being open source doesn’t mean anything without a guarantee that the code submitted by signal or protonmail to the Apple App Store or Google Play Store is the same exact code that they show the sources code for.

I’ve used DDG for years, however, I am now looking for an alternative company. I found a private search I did through DDG, on an institution that helps people with various mental health issues, for someone close to me, somehow wound up in my Facebook META history. It had nothing to do with FB in any way, yet, there it was. Disturbing to say the least. 😣

Please can you teach us how to protect our photos from AI manipulation? Some pleople are using others people's photos and manipulating using AI to do whatever they want to. Is there any way we can protect our photos from this type of thing before posting?

If you want something 99% secure, host it yourself. If you want it 98% which is good enough for most privacy focused people Proton and Signal are great.

There are 2 majors problem, the error 18 aka between keyboard and chair, and the platform used to access websites or run applications. And in case of anything related to messaging, the same problems on the other counterparts of these exchanges. Put differently one might be the problem, no end-to-end encryption tools.

4:30 Thought end to end encryption is only good if used at both ends? I don't think my bank or lawyer uses Proton so not much use. No wasting my money on some alias service btw, just set up different email accounts, free.

A frustratingly number of times people miss the fact that someone ... nefarious, shall we say, may not *need* to have the encryption key if the endpoint is compromised.

where to save bitwarden's password?

Signal is definitely broken - you want a proof? Tucker Carlson is the proof. The alphabet agencies understood from his Signal, that he was planning for interview with Putin and it was not about the one you know about, but some years ago, maybe 2016, the one that didn't happen exactly because of these agencies, who figured out and made sure it does not take place. I have my reasons to suspect that Telegram is also broken. So, if you ask me is there a messenger app, that isn't broken - I cannot tell you. I think they all are. That doesn't mean you can't use it for casual conversation with friends and family, but do not consider it a secure and private channel of communication.

Only Proton CLIENTS are open-source. I think that is a very important distinction to make.

I came in here about to debunk the "clickbait" title, but i am glad you actually told what actually happened! <3, You also need to keep in mind that the Eu is spreading alot of misinformation and fake news, either to cover up the bad stuff they've done, and make them look better than they actually are cuz of elections coming up.. Proton provides more privacy, not anonymity.... Signal has shown up in multiple court cases with the order to bring everybody that they have on a certain user... which isn't more than an a4 that states when the acc is created, when it is last seen,.... The Eu is also putting alot of effort in implementing chatcontrol and clientside scanning... GREAT VIDEO! <3

So if I get this right, the 5 series is basically the key to access OTPs in your phone instead of having a password like on Aegis or no restricted access like FreeOTP+. Sounds useful if I understand correctly.

How do I verify that the Signal application that I downloaded from the apple app store was built from the open source code that is published?

In this case. If the user always used a VPN when signing into Proton and created an account with no identifying "records", as recovery email and name etc. The Proton email account name would exist but if you call it "Gibberish@ proton.. Then nothing would come of it. The IP would just lead to some VPN server. The data is encrypted and Proton say they cannot decrypt it. So it would be Gibberish. This coupled with Proton only as to abide by Swiss government that has good privacy laws. Then there is not much to worry about.

In the video, you brought up the point about being careful of what recovery email you specify. If the recovery email is from iCloud or Microsoft or Google, then I understand the point that the authorities will have to hand any email id to the authorities. What if it was another Proton email account itself?

News flash - a government subpoena trumps your privacy. Proton had no choice. And what did they get? What info did Proton give them? Stop throwing a tantrum about Proton complying with a legal demand (it's not a "request".) Think about what they actually gave the Swiss government.

Not the terrible clickbait thumbnail and title smh

Huge downside. It just saved me over 100euros. I’ll just stick with software 2FA.

100% of SIM swap attacks are the result of someone other than the owner of the account modifying the account without the owner's approval. A company called Cloaked Wireless has solved this by only letting the subscriber modify the account (their staff can't modify accounts). Basically, it solved the whole SIM swap problem.

You could do a one way encryption or hash on a recovery e-mail address and then only 'check' when supplied rather than have the recovery e-mail in plain text. Could be enumerated obviously so a bit more complex but can be fixed if someone wanted to.

This video is misleading if you have read the actual articles regarding it. The proton address had a recovery email address, which was Apple.

so how do you prove the open source code is the code that is actually being implemented

You should use Nokia old phone to be in privacy!

The reality is this: If you are online, there is no way to be completely secure from online threats. Proton and Signal give you better tools to safeguard your privacy than others, by a significant margin. They are still however online. It took a multi-national government order with proof of terrorism to just get the recovery email address. If that isn't secure, then what is? Well created video, thanks for sharing.

I am not concerned about it as they only have the IP. My e-mail contents are still encrypted with password, mfa and mailbox password. However, keep in mind this is ONLY protecting the content on your proton mail account. They can intercept and sniff any SMTP e-mails on the internet that don't utilize TLS between servers which is fairly small. Just treat your e-mails as if you sent a postcard.

Fyi, there is now a proton calendar app

Using a VPN to login Proton, then the VPN leaks your ISP IP address. Haha.

does this effect your score?

Me still waiting for Google to make an good messaging app 😢

WOW you really hit the nail on this. Things I overlooked myself, especially with legal stuff. Hey, great video sir!

Much alarm, everythings a psyop,

Cvv please

Thank you for making this video. The message here isn't letting these vendors off the hook; it's a reality check for the digital frontier as a whole. More specifically "due process". It's the only 'real' sense of security we need to focus on, "did an agency use due process?" But also (and more importantly) are software vendors 'only' providing information under circumstances of due process? As a systems administrator, I applaud the message of User responsibilities and as a personal privacy advocate, I salute the message of due process. Fear mongering and baseless accusations run rampant over social media outlets as it is. Thank you for providing a voice of reason and a means of laying a basic framework of the legal challenges.

This wouldn’t be helpful for OTP though bc you have to save them first to assign that number to them . Unless you can save them after you receive the text . The biggest reason I like the other apps is bc when it works with a number within the app you can do the OTP verification which you need for monetization on social media

You should take a look at the NOSTR protocol 😇

Talking to fast had to keep starting over

👍🏻

You do not have to send clear text in Signal, what you send can be encrypted by you before even sending that message. Even the images can be imbedded with encrypted messages. Same goes for emails.

Tuckerson tht the NSA brak signal.

Pavel criticising Signal is pretty ironic when he's turning his own platform into a Facebook-like nightmare

Point of fact: FBI/CIA/Secret Service all were spying on Tucker Carlson's Signal account reading all his encrypted messages, right before and during his visit to Russia. He even confirmed it with several sources in those organizations

Searching for privacy while using third-party networks, devices, or operating systems is essentially wishful thinking. Consider three neighbors living side by side. The first and third neighbors want to have a conversation in their backyards. As they start talking from their respective gardens, the second neighbor, situated in the middle, can always hear their conversation. This analogy illustrates the basic principle: you can build a temporary communication channel (like a pipe) for the neighbors to talk privately, but this pipe must be entirely your own construction, not provided by services like NordVPN or OpenVPN. Once people grasp this concept, the issue becomes clearer. As long as you rely on third-party systems, true privacy is unattainable, which is the case for 99% of users. Genuine privacy is nearly impossible in these scenarios. If you truly desire privacy, consider having face-to-face conversations, perhaps during a walk in nature or while swimming.
