I sure do hope that once anti-ICE users catch a wind of this, they'd move to lemmy, Signal and selfhosted platforms ASAP.

Lemmy is by no means private or secure, and depending on your level of op-sec you are easily identifiable.

Ya, I'm not sure why they are not included in the title when they are talked about in the article too. These massive tech companies cannot be trusted with your data to any degree.

Likely because Discord is not as widely known - and it'd make the title longer.

Discord doesn't get as many clicks compared to the larger companies, since fewer people know about it. For articles like this, news publishers always list the most well-known brands.

Users on those centralized platforms got exactly what they deserved. The writing on the wall was yelled at them for years and still ignored.

Idk. If it was in their TOS yes they agreed to it. But if the company sait it would only give info if requested by a warrant and they given it without any consideration. They can be sued .

I suspect the user above you doesn’t care about that technicality. They’re just blaming victims for not being as virtuous as we are, which is small.

The risk is still there on decentralized platforms too, though.

Centralized services suck
