I see random websites that aren’t open source saying they are “encrypted, safe”, when they obviously aren’t! Come on!

    Am I in the wrong community here?

    Burden of proof is always on the service to demonstrate that they are private.

      The burden of proof is on the claimant. In this case, the claim is that they are neither encrypted nor secure. The claim can be made from both sides but if neither provides proof then we’re all just tinfoil hats.

        The original claim is by the websites / services that they ARE encrypted / secure. Why are you conveniently ignoring that they’re not providing any proof for their claims?

        Claimant? This isn’t some Socratic debate or court of law, it’s privacy 101. It’s the safest position to take if you didn’t know better.

          Yes, claimant. It doesn’t have to be a court of law for a word to have a meaning. When a person makes a claim, they are a claimant. I’ve always understood this to be plain English. It’s exhausting when everyone wants to make pedantic arguments rather than discuss the topic. Are they encrypted or are they not? Let’s answer the question and then we can have a Socratic debate about it.
