I hope Elon musk gets cancelled(cancer) for this useless nonsensical black box
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.
XChat, has some red flags.
With a white circle and a swastika inside?
shouldn’t trust it yetshouldn’t trust it everShouldn’t trust it yet.
Or ever.
Hey y’all. Reminder not to trust a platform owned and operated by a Nazi manchild.
“xchat” sounds like one of those porn chat rooms
If you trust ANYTHING Musk has for you well then have I got a bridge to sell you.
Ah, new ways for Kegsbreath to expose his idiocy.
Yet? More like never.
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.
They keep your private key on their servers.
Then it’s literally not even E2EE, lol
If you chat on Xitter you‘re chatting with mecha Hitler.
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.
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.
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.
