Time to get serious with E2E encrypted messaging (techcrunch.com)

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

I'm also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

I think at this point it would be funnier to just use something obviously unsecure like discord but share your public key with the other user and then send encrypted text.

We went full circle to the early 2000s, slapping PGP on top of public messaging platforms!
