Comment on Sweeping EU rules for tech giants take effect today. Here’s what’s changing | CNN Business
DandomRude@lemmy.world 8 months agoYes, sure, but why not simply point out that the communication between Signal and Whatsapp, for example, is not sufficiently encrypted? If someone doesn’t use Signal or Theema, you can only communicate with this person anyway if you use the corresponding app. That’s not any more secure. I just think that Signal & Co. could gain a lot of users if they also allowed (insecure) communication with other messengers. Encryption between users who both use Signal, for example, is not affected by this.

Yeah I really don’t get it. Signal even had something similar. They made it so you could use the app as an SMS client as well. All your contacts would show up and if they didn’t have a Signal account, you could just send them SMS’s. They removed the feature, but they can obviously do it.
