If privacy is your topic, iPhones are out.
You could check /e/OS for example with Fairphone that includes parental control feature.
Your parents do not matter in this context and it would be shameful to use such features.

Avoid tracking apps and tracking in apps. Avoid big tech like Meta and use Signal instead. If your child is not willing to do without Tiktok, Insta and so on, you won’t prevent. You can only explain. Remember: Divice literacy is not media literacy

making Tuta Mail the world’s first email provider that can protect emails from quantum computer attacks.

I don’t see how mails are secured when being sended from or to a Tutanota user and to or from a non Tutanota user. Those mails are only secured on their servers.

This. You can’t use your client, not on your phone nor on your PC. Therefore Tutanota was never a viable option

They changed some basics from Mull and decided to go other ways. That’s why I’m not using thus browser

Now it is easy to decide whether Proton is viable or not. Not their first strike. Hopefully users now know what their philosophy is

Hell no. The oposite. He is in favour for chat control. Thus going to be the end for freedom and democracy in Europe

I don’t think so

But it’s Telegram. Avoiding laws, their registered office tells us enough. No encryption (only in a few cases after one’s own initiative). I don’t see a better option.

First of all, Signals code is open. Many people arround the world can check (and they already did) if the messenger lives up to its promises, is secure, private and so on. The others are not. Whatever you think they do, you have to trust a company like Meta. You wanna be that naive?

All those apps collect data: when you are online, where you are online, who is talking to who. Maybe also what you are talking about… we can’t know. For example: Some psychatrists do not use WhatsApp because using such an app in the waiting room would provide Meta with information like ‘you have mental health issues’. Signal on the other hand does verifiable not collect such data.

We also can see bahaviours coming from big companies to direct societies into a direction of their favor. They act like this, because maximum profit and power is what they are working for - they are simply companies. Signal on the other hand is a foundation which aims to provide security, encryption, privacy and fight against censorship (not in terms of content but in terms of countries blocking messenger services). What could be the more trustworthy base?

Btw Signal uses donations to pay their development and Servers so you can use the app for free. What does Meta use to handle costs for WhatsApp, Facebook and so on… Maybe they are charitable 🤞

To name differences:

• No adds
• No tracking
• Local backup (not on Google services or something like that)
• No exchange of personal data like phone number (they use a hash instead)
• You can use a pseudonym in form of a user name to get in contact with others (without telling them your phone number) and you can easily delete it and use a new one
• Signal created the Signal protocol which is called the gold standard, as it is the most secure and to encryption mechanism. They were the first so add resistance against quantum computers

And finally the better question is:
Why should the world use WhatsApp and co and not Signal? They do not have one advantage. If the whole world would use Signal, Threema or similar apps, it wouldn’t lose anything but would win so much. Think about that

/e/ has good but not perfect privacy. It still contains connections to Google and they added a tracking parameter to their update calls.

Their update cycles are very slow. You are usually one to two months behind monthly security updates. Full bulletins are a year behind and Webview is a problem as well. They ignore this point and do not realize, that Insuffizienz security is a privacy risk AS well.

So if you want good privacy with a convenient user experience and without thoughts about security, here you go.

they do alot to protect user privacy (as far as we know)

They do nearly nothing to so. Kuketz has analyzed what’s happening when turning some settings that are bad for privacy off. The result: Apple still phones home with respect to the disabled services.

So please stop throwing wrong information

Startpage.com does not

Session does not have much things in common with Signal. They removed good things and nowadays it is not good headlining when saying ‘fork’.

They changed some fundamentale that werde used for and in Mull so I do not recommend it yet

NewPipe needs VPN or Tor for privacy which usually gets blocked

Oh yes. They don’t know the page… They do know what and what IP.

As /e/ and iodé depend on Lineage, there would be no difference. Only Graphene (Pixel-only) and Calyx (critical) are directly based on AOSP and could thus make a difference

Lineage covers many devices but is not very privacy friendly. It does not include Google integration by default. The ßain advantage is longer software support.

Graphene is most secure and privacy friendly OS and comes with support for sandboxed GApps (optional). Unfortunately it is only made for Google Pixel devices so I’m out.

Depending on your reasons and device you could also check alternatives like /e/.

Messages are not end to end encrypted and can thus be read from service provider.

Additionally Google is integrated into website.
