im an unpaid intern. so in order to make myself useful i read privacy policies so you dont have to.
episode: @Viber
- keeps detailed metadata for up to 24 months
- records who communicates with who
- collects IP addresses and uses it for location inference
- collects persistent device IDs
- builds profiles about users
- ad partners can receive device and location data
- processes info about people who don't use it
- content can be examined if reported or suspicious

unpaid intern reads the privacy policy so you don't have to
episode: @WhatsApp
- reported messages can become visible to whatsapp
- metadata is shared across the Meta ecosystem
- contact uploads can provide whatsapp with your non-user information
- even without location permissions general permission is inferred
- device is fingerprinted using model, OS, battery level, signal strength, app version, browser, ISP + carrier, language, timezone, IP, operations, and device specific identifiers
- business chats can be accessible to thirdparties
the app collects enough metadata to reconstruct behavioral patterns.

hello new followers. i am an unpaid intern that runs this account.
Secure is a encrypted communications app that is currently available on android and iOS test flight (beta). you should use it. here's the link: securelegion.org/. there is going to be a desktop app soon.

I read the privacy policy bc they don't pay me to, so you don't have to.
Episode: @chat
- XChat is not forward secure, one key controls everything
- Private keys are recoverable from X infrastructure
- Metadata is not encrypted
- Messages can silently fallback to unencrypted
- Grok features deliberately break confidentiality
- Deletion does not guarantee the data is removed
- First contacts are always unencrypted
