  • It’s a little dodgy. ;-)

    The biggest issue with Signal is that it requires a phone number to register an account, even if you’re just using the desktop version. Asking Signal to hand over the data it holds on you shows that the phone number you’re using is associated with each device you’ve used to log into Signal.

    As a result, Signal must hand this information over when requested to by U.S. law enforcement. The scope of what an investigator could learn is limited, but at the bare minimum they would be able to confirm when you last connected to the service.

    While most of Google’s analytics are turned off in the Signal app, it still uses the Google Maps API to handle location data. Calls to Google Maps turn over a bunch of metadata, including the IP you’re connecting from. For a project that’s so invested in privacy, it’s surprising that Signal doesn’t use an open source alternative such as Open Street Map.




  • I didn’t ask for a video specific to YT. I asked for a topic, for information, that you couldn’t find anywhere else online, but on YT…

    You must be a troll, to try to act stupid, or to consciously try to change the focus here!

    You are truly weird for saying that degoogling is about anything else than to stop using google. Now, stop trolling!



  • You are funny… Etho is art, is that your claim? Or are you just making a stupid and childish straw man here? 🙃

    Uh, you want to debate Maslow, then please tell me which of the pyramids he presented, you’d like to talk about? And please tell me, how that in any way makes someone playing MC crucial to peoples lives?








  • I asked you to give me an example of some content that only exist on YT. Bear in mind, it has to be some content that you need, and can’t find anywhere else. There are, obviously some creators that post only on YT, but what they post about, you can find lots of other places. There’s no real knowledge that you can only find on YT… But feel free to give me an example (that’s just 1 example I ask for), and that’s too much for you.

    I rest my case! ;-)

    I really dont know what answer you expect on that. It’s no secret that the vast majority of creators only upload their videos on YouTube. Should they mirror them on something like Peertube? Well, yeah, but this is not in your control.

    It’s a simple question, but I guess you just proved my point here. It was your claim, that there are exclusive content on YT, that you can’t find anywhere else. A claim that didn’t hold.

    Tell me, why do you expect an answer, when you refuse to give one? I don’t have to block every domain to not use a service. Are you really that clueless?

    Next you’ll be saying that I use google, when I read a document someone wrote in Google Docs, right? 🙃
