Probably shouldn’t? How 'bout definitely shouldn’t, ditto for Twitter in general. Give ATproto shit all you want but at least you can move to an independent PDS with it.
Granted ActivityPub is still ideal over ATproto, but both are better than a centralized black box.
probably??? try definitely and ever
“The guy who helped install Donald Trump, did a Nazi Salute at Trump’s victory parade on live TV, supports authoritarians, and who has declared war on transgender people to the point you’re not allowed to say “Cis” or “Cisgender” on his platform, has created an end to end encrypted chat.”
All of this has the same vibes as the time Brigham Young University amended their code of conduct to allow people to come out as queer, let some students come out, and then changed the CoC back and expelled the students.
shouldn’t trust it yetshouldn’t trust it everXChat, has some red flags.
With a white circle and a swastika inside?
Hey y’all. Reminder not to trust a platform owned and operated by a Nazi manchild.
Shouldn’t trust it yet.
Or ever.
“xchat” sounds like one of those porn chat rooms
Ah, new ways for Kegsbreath to expose his idiocy.
If you trust ANYTHING Musk has for you well then have I got a bridge to sell you.
Yet? More like never.
Signal and encrypted email only.
Friends and I swapped our group chat to Signal the day Trump was inaugurated…the first time.
If things keep going the way they are, no one should be communicating on anything but encrypted messaging apps.
I trust it but there is a major misunderstanding of end to end encryption. Some implementations the platform holder does not have a key to decrypt data but it is far from a requirement. All end to end means is there’s a blocker preventing the network from seeing what you send not twitter who im assuming has a copy of the key.
That is NOT end to end encryption. That is transport layer encryption. So basically SSL
End to end is from sender to recipient. No one in the middle should be able to read anything
It’s like ssl but done at the application layer. Nobody in the middle can read it except it’s nobody in the middle of you and twitter and twitter and the recipient. If you put something on a platform and they have the key they will always be able to read it if they want to.
are you being dense on purpose? sender and recipient are both users. never twitter.
i’m not saying that twitter’s messaging is secure. the opposite. what i’m saying is that you statement of “All end to end means is there’s a blocker preventing the network from seeing what you send not twitter” is 100% objectively wrong.
TL;dr of the article :
- They keep your private key on their servers.
- Their implementation allows for AITM attacks.
- It’s closed source.
- There’s no perfect forward secrecy.
This secret stays between you, me, and Elon.
I hope politicians use the hell out of it, so we can see what they really think when it gets (inevitably) hacked in a few weeks.
If you chat on Xitter you‘re chatting with mecha Hitler.
They keep your private key on their servers.
Then it’s literally not even E2EE, lol
What is the “A” in “AITM”?
Agencies
Asshole
This is the first time I heard of AITM, thought it was a new name for MITM:
Are you sure that site is trustworthy? It kinda reads like an LLM being told to explain the difference between two names for the same thing and basically rephrasing the same thing. I’d imagine it might just be a different name to get rid of a male-coded word.
Adversary
Anyone
It’s just MITM but with extra steps
Ah yes, Malcolm in the Middle is behind this all along.
Apple
Aliens
Administrator
Elon.
They are stupid, but not that stupid.
Never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence.
I used to give the benefit of the doubt but when there are bad incentives in play and shit keeps happening… then perhaps that is naïve sometimes, unfortunately.
Do you mean bad incentives?
And sure, I don’t disagree, but these people are also not actually that smart. I would worry more about this getting hacked in a week way before Elon gets a chance to use it against anyone.
LOL nope. I’d use anything else. As in NO X.
It was eyerolling back when that dickhead decided to sell blue checkmarks instead of issuing them only to verified celebrities.
