I am astonished to still see colleagues offering programs with FB and Whatsapp "community" elements, in 2025!
Nope, nope, nope.

Hopefully this will wake my colleagues up. Ours is a profession requiring deep trust and confidentiality. Meta products do not allow this.

(Oh, and: Meta consuming all their users' #AI transcripts and chatbot prompts!)

😱😖

Anybody talking about anonymity sets, metadata leakage, and so on, without clarifying the #threatModel and actual attack scenario first, should learn about different priorities people might have, when it comes to #security (=  #confidentiality, #integrity, #availability)and #digitalSovereignty.

Sure, Signal collects less #metadata than #Jabber, but it has other disadvantages, making it a #NoGo for me:

As part of inducting new employees to our organization I have a short session with them (think project managers, sales etc) on how to approach #NDA or #confidentiality requests* from customers / partners.

Attached the supporting slides. I'm sharing them as multiple people here have asked to see them. If they're useful feel free to copy the content :-)

*The concept is to transform a bullish "sign NDA or we can't continue!" demand into a useful dialogue with an outcome that works for all.
