Time to get serious with E2E encrypted messaging (techcrunch.com)

I currently use Telegram for my friends and family, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the UK Government is either reaching agreement for backdoors with messaging services, or is trying its hardest to.

I'm also on Element/Matrix. Before I try to get my contacts to join me on there, should I be aware of any privacy issues or is that a good place to head?

My response to the body of this post is https://www.privacyguides.org/en/real-time-communication/

This might address the URL of this post (I've never interacted with "iCloud" so I don't necessarily know what would be a good replacement for it): https://www.privacyguides.org/en/document-collaboration/

There’s also Wire

E2EE and can be used as desktop or phone app interchangeably. No phone number required for signup.

Family has been using this for years now
