There is nothing safe when it comes from Google, Apple, Facebook or Microslop. You can use them as a medium to pass data you encrypt yourself, but if you rely on their encryption (e2ee + them), where you hold no keys, it's all only a sham. Some people will tell you signal is better. It's probably true, until it's not, since it's not federated.
If you need a real secure communication channel, you will have to learn a bit about the tools you need. None of them come from any of these shitshow companies.
Thnks dude, i use briar for serious convos, but damn to find that conversations shares ur shit with ur recovery email, fuck.
Yep. Every bit of data you share with these fucks can, and will, be used against you.
