    The concern with Session is that theyre based in Australia, a country that is in the 5 eyes, and their government passed a bill forces companies to provide a backdoor when ordered to, the company cannot deny to create this, and they can’t declose that they got ordered to ether. [A great video talking about said bill] While the Session devs say their services are resilient to these threats, [see their FAQ] it’s best to remain cautious.

        Thanks, I’ve been confused about all the different messaging apps for a while now, and having a feature comparison matrix like that is helpful.

        (I’d definitely be interested in other users’ opinions about how accurate/reliable/unbiased the information presented is, though!)

          This matrix doesn’t conflict with anything I’ve independently read about any of the protocols listed.

          It doesn’t list briar, which deserves mention.
