Line 97:
Even if you mainly correspond via apps such as Facebook messenger or WhatsApp, you're hardly any better off. Rather than with your provider, your messages and/or the metadata are now in the hands of big companies such as Facebook who's core business model is to violate your privacy. Those companies are, of course, subject to coercion by government in charge of their servers.
When it comes to secure communication, the gold standard is always-on enabled-by-default [[Concept:End-to-
* '''always-on''' - the encryption is always on and cannot be disabled by either yourself or any third party, including the service provider or the government
* '''enabled-by-default''' - the encryption is on for all users of the service, by default and without any additional opt-in steps
