Übrigens: dass ein Journalist auf dem #Messenger #Signal geheime Nachrichten von US-Ministern zu Militärschlägen mitlesen konnte, liegt nicht etwasan dem Dienst Signal. Es liegt eher an der Unfähigkeit der Verantwortlichen mit dem Dienst umgehen zu können – also fehlende #Digitalkommpetenz .
Eine große Messenger-Übersicht mit Einordnungen zu Sicherheit, Datenschutz und Bedienbarkeit, in der auch Signal aufgeführt ist, findet sich im Blog bei Kuketz:

Diese Argumentationshilfe bietet überzeugende Gründe, warum WhatsApp in Elterngruppen von Schulen und Kitas vermieden werden sollte. 👇
WhatsApp war schon immer ein Datenschutz-Desaster. Mit der Einführung der Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung waren zumindest die Inhalte geschützt – doch das dürfte mit dem neuen KI-Assistenten Geschichte sein. Eine KI, die ständig mithört, konterkariert jede E2EE und macht sie wertlos.

Thank you for the clarification. I did state (at least in the convo mentioned) that #XMPP is (but) a protocol.
The FOSS messenger(s) based on it, however, to my knowledge, are but niche apps for the technologically savvy.--No-one of my RL contacts has ever mentioned it (no a represantive sample, OFC.)
