I'm not on facebook.

Whut? I thought they've already done that once the acquisition was completed.

Ive been free of that site for a while now.
It's always been a data mining site

The opt out option does say "don't give my phone # to jews"

Just installed Signal.

Only contacts using it are nerds from back in college i have no intent of talking to.


What now?

>>56273721
uninstall because signal is still shit anyway regardless

>>56271551
I use neither facebook or whatsapp, so I am completely indifferent to your information.

The best part is even if you don't use Facebook, your WhatsApp using friends will upload your name, email address and phone number to the botnet for you. Both fb and WhatsApp upload full address books to fb.

How would whatsapp know my name when they don't have any permissions in xprivacy ?

>>56271551
>regardless of the fact that you didn't want to put your phone number on facebook.
Where do you get that bit from?

>>56273764
>>56274288
what's wrong with signal and what are good alternatives?

>>56275958
Because your friends are uploading their address books. It doesn't matter what's installed on your phone

>>56271551
>How does that make you feel /g/?
People who are on facebook and people who aren't, have the same feelings:

I don't use that shit. Still, Zuck's a slimy kike.

>>56271571
Yeah. Anyone who really gives a shit about that kind of privacy wouldn't have used facebook or whatsapp in the first place.

>>56276125
If you're serious about privacy... I've said this a million times

TELEGRAM IS NOT SECURE...

The legit first rule of Cryptology is "Unless you know what the fuck you're doing, don't role your own Crypto." And guess what Telegram did? Run their own Crypto... And they're MATHEMATICIANS not Cryptologists...

Just look up "Is telegram secure" and you'll find a plethora of security nerds criticizing it for this point alone... Until they have an ACTUAL audit done from a third-party with full-disclosure... We cannot trust Telegram's Crypto...

>>56271608
That doesn't mean they don't know your phone number, you dumbass. Chances are, some other person has your phone number in their contacts and he or she uses the FB... You're fucked.

Thank you both of you for the input. I will do some research on Telegram.

Is there any other good choice if Telegram is not proven to be safe?

>not discussing selling drugs and little thai girls with your secret contacts via signal

>>56275756

>>56277907
Nice copypasta dick head
Shame you have no idea

>>56281081
I feel your pain. This news would be shocking if I used facebook and whatsapp too. Friends would be nice but I rarely have social activity outside of chinese cartoon forums.

>>56271551
Ha jokes on you I'm an only child.
