#sessionapp moves from Australia to Switzerland because of draconian anti-privacy laws. #eSafety legislation required all users to be identified.

InnovationAus.com · 'Draconian' laws force encrypted messaging app offshoreEncrypted messaging app Session has shifted its operations from Australia to Switzerland and adopted a foundation model, blaming the move on the country’s “draconian” regulatory environment. As law enforcement and national security agencies look to clamp down on encryption, the co-operative behind the app the move would bring “stability and security” to a platform used by a million users. The model will allow the app to bypass online safety and encryption-busting legislation, which have made it increasingly difficult for tech companies offering encrypted apps to operate in Australia.

I've been using for my messaging needs for a while now, it provides me the peace of mind that my conversations are secured from prying eyes. The end-to-end encryption and minimal metadata collection ensures that my privacy is not compromised. The open-source nature of the app also gives me the confidence that I can verify the security of the app by reviewing the code. I highly recommend it to anyone who values their privacy and security.

Interesting, thanks for the article. Luckily, this #leak only affects phone numbers & not the message contents. If the message contents were leaked instead, that would be a much larger issue.

If protecting #metadata is very important, might be a good idea to use other apps that don't use phone number as usernames like #SessionApp, #WireApp, #Threema & #Matrix.

If you don't mind using phone numbers, you can't beat #SignalApp as it doesn't store much in terms of #metadata.
