#Signal’s Creator Is Helping Encrypt #Meta #AI

Moxie Marlinspike says the technology powering his encrypted AI chatbot, Confer, will be integrated into Meta AI. The move could help protect the AI conversations of millions of people.Lily Hay Newman (WIRED)
According to the Guardian, #Meta is removing end-to-end encryption on #Instagram messages, imminently. This has been welcomed by child safety advocates (fair enough) and presumably criticised by privacy advocates (also fair enough). You'll still be able to use end-to-end encryption with #WhatsApp, if that's your thing.
Whatever your standpoint, it's inevitable that the contents of people's private messages will be monetised in some way, either through targeted advertising or through being used to train LLMs. Yet more #enshittification.
The solution is to free yourself from #BigTech, and use #XMPP, #Matrix, #DeltaChat or #Signal.

Meta’s announcement comes after years of criticism from child safety groups over featureJosh Taylor (the Guardian)
A partir del 8 de mayo, META podrá acceder al contenido de todas las conversaciones privadas en Instagram; podrá ver y disponer del contenido de todos los mensajes enviados entre usuarios. Ahora vienen por los datos PRIVADOS para el entrenamiento de sistemas de IA generativa y cibervigilancia ⚠️

Welp. Because we are living out in no man's land and our medical needs, I had to break my "Give NO support for the three damn🍁 profiteering cell services providers" !!!!🤬
So, any recommendations as to which is the more secure, #Delta Chat or #Signal?
If you reply, please mention why you prefer one over the other. Thanks. 🙂

Static + dynamic analysis of Signal's APK. The good news first: Signal is genuinely exceptional.
Rust core (libsignal_jni.so), post-quantum hybrid Double Ratchet (Kyber-1024 + X25519), Direct ByteBuffers with immediate zeroing after PIN/username hashing, Intel SGX attestation for SVR — MREnclave verification means even a compromised Signal server can't extract your PIN hash.
But two things stood out:
1. Firebase is always there. Google receives IP + notification timestamps regardless of message content. If you need metadata privacy, Signal still leaks presence data to Google's infrastructure.
2. Certificate revocation endpoints hit g.symcd.com in plaintext. An ISP or state-level observer can fingerprint Signal usage from DNS queries and HTTP traffic to those CAs — without touching message content.
Conclusion: strongest crypto engineering in consumer messaging. The attack surface isn't the cryptography. It's the operational dependencies.
Soon the full analysis

“Signal is one of my favourite messaging apps because of its focus on privacy and security. I use it to message my closest friends regularly, and in the process, I’ve discovered a fair few hidden features that I now use every day. From shielding your phone number from other users, to preventing hackers from breaking into your account, these hacks will help you make the most of Signal.”
Very solid tips these, especially as most hacking of secure messengers actually takes place on the end-user device.

So, transfering my old Signal messages from my old phone to my new with the transfer feature was impossible. So now I try with making a backup on the old phone and importing it on the new instead.
I re-registered my old phone, made the backup, sent it to the new phone (thank you, #LocalSend!), re-registered my new phone, and…
Going to Settings -> Backups -> On-device backups, it just says "Open the app and tap Restore backup" Ok, but where!? What!?
Gli hacker russi prendono di mira #Signal E #WhatsApp account di funzionari, giornalisti e personale militare che utilizzano il phishing — non violano la crittografia.
Gli aggressori si spacciano per bot di supporto di Signal o abusano delle funzionalità dei dispositivi collegati per rubare codici di verifica e impossessarsi degli account.

I've tried the transfer of messages from my old phone to the new so many times now!
It only started once, on maybe the third attempt. It got to ~2% in like 20 min, and then it stopped with some error message.
Now I've tried again 5+ times, and it won't even start. The "Searching for new Android device" spinner just keeps spinning.
Help?
