Previously: Part Zero, Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V.
Part VI: Chat/Instant Messaging/Communications
Oh, for the good old days when you could install a multi-protocol chat client like Pidgin and keep in touch with all of your friends on ICQ, AIM, XMPP, and IRC. Alas, the protocol era of the internet is dying, and the platform era is upon us. Most modern messaging protocols and clients are not interoperable, and work hard to keep you within a particular platform. While the venerable old IRC and XMPP protocols and clients are still kicking, they have largely fallen into disuse as normies have embraced messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal and Telegram.
Needless to say, end-to-end (E2E) encryption is a bare minimum requirement for secure, privacy-respecting messaging, and even the mainstream apps mentioned above have it. In brief, E2E encryption encodes your messages with a cryptographic key such that their contents cannot be read while in transit, but only once they reach their intended recipient. While Telegram supports E2E encryption, by default messages are only encrypted in transit to Telegram’s servers, where they can be read, intercepted, or subpoenaed by law enforcement. Even apps like WhatsApp and Signal that enable E2E encryption by default manage to violate user privacy in other ways. WhatsApp shares extensive information about your account with its parent company, Meta (formerly Facebook). Signal is non-commercial and therefore less invasive with advertising or data mining, but still requires personally identifiable information to use the service. All of the aforementioned messenger apps are tied to your real phone number. So E2E encryption is the price of admission, but it’s not the end of the story. Decentralization also helps to mitigate some of the same security and privacy vulnerabilities as encryption. Returning to the previously referenced Telegram example, a decentralized, peer-to-peer (P2P) approach would obviate the problems created by having messages decrypted and stored on a central server, since there is no central server. For that reason, I prefer to use P2P messaging protocols and programs whenever possible. In the past I used Tox, and while it is still a useful protocol, most of its clients have fallen into an unmaintained state. My current preference is Jami, which is a GNU project with the backing of the Free Software Foundation, and in a more mature state than Tox. Besides being P2P and E2E encrypted, these programs collect no personally identifiable information besides an IP address in order to function, and are not tied to your phone number. Furthermore, you do not even need an internet connection to use them, as P2P connections can be made over a local network or ad-hoc WiFi. The Briar project can even use Bluetooth mesh networking for offline communication, which is especially useful during mobile network outages, natural disasters and repressive government crackdowns. However, there are downsides to the P2P approach, the most obvious being that both participants (or multiple participants, in the case of group chats/calls) must be online in order for messages to be delivered. In my experience, that has been a deal breaker for many of my normie friends, who are used to being able to send messages, videos and photos to their intended recipient even if he is offline, and have the recipient be able to retrieve the messages, videos or photos at a later time. There are other normie-repelling quirks of Jami, which are inherent to P2P messaging in general, such as the inability to recover passwords or lost “accounts”, since accounts are merely locally-stored cryptographic keys. I continue to use Jami to communicate with fellow privacy schizos, but I recognize it may not be a good choice for everyone.
For those for whom the inconveniences of P2P messaging are too burdensome, Session is a more normie-friendly alternative, and the one I use with my normie friends. The UI and functionality of Session is more similar to the mainstream messaging apps, so it’s easier to adopt for most people. Session began as a fork of the Signal protocol with many privacy enhancements. It features E2E encryption, utilizes onion routing and requires no phone number or personally identifiable information to use. It is cross-platform and available for iOS, Android, Windows and Linux-based OSes, which makes it a good option if you have a mix of different OSes and/or devices. Transparency bonus: Quarkslab conducted a security audit of Session in 2021, the results of which can be viewed in full here.
It’s worth mentioning that the sort of man-in-the-middle attacks that end-to-end encryption and decentralization help prevent are becoming less common, in part due to the wider adoption of mainstream encrypted messaging apps, but in just as large a part because it is typically easier for a malicious actor, surveillance company or law enforcement agency to simply exploit a compromised device to read the decrypted message at the source than to intercept it in transit – another good reason to be mindful of OS privacy and security, particularly on a mobile device which can more easily be lost, stolen or confiscated.
Another mainstream platform that straddles the line between messaging app and social media is Discord. Unlike the other mainstream messaging apps we looked at previously, Discord does not even make a pretense of encrypting messages or user data and is among the worst privacy offenders you could use. It collects telemetry data, a unique device ID, every text message, image or video you send, as well as your VOIP data. Unfortunately, it is ubiquitous in the world of online video gaming, and is increasingly used by businesses and software projects to coordinate teams and solicit user feedback. For reasons related to being a man child who still plays video games well into his 30s, I sometimes find myself with occasion to use Discord, despite my colossal misgivings. When I must, I either run the browser-based Discord client in a hardened Firefox instance within a Firejail sandbox, or run the standalone client in Flatpak, which provides its own sandboxing. Those tools are only available on Linux-based OSes. Each thing that Discord does can be accomplished by another standalone application – Mumble for low-latency VOIP chat, IRC or any of the aforementioned messaging apps for text chat and file sharing – but bringing them all into one app with a consumer-friendly GUI is a bigger ask. The closest thing currently available is Element. Element is the reference client for the Matrix protocol. Matrix has E2E encryption for direct messaging baked in, supports VOIP, video chat, text chat, and file transfer, and is a federated, interoperable open standard. Element is under fairly brisk development, but is mostly feature complete, and can also serve as an alternative to conferencing software like Zoom. If you’ve ever used Discord, it will be immediately obvious what they’ve tried to replicate, and where they’ve succeeded and failed at doing so. I find it pleasant to use, and actually more intuitive than Discord in many ways, but it’s been my experience that younger people who have baby ducked to the Discord UI can’t seem to get their head around anything else.
We’ll close out this segment with a word on the granddaddy of online messaging, email. By design, email is not very secure or private, and shouldn’t be used when those are primary considerations. Even encrypted email services like ProtonMail aren’t really very secure, and only provide encryption when both sender and recipient are using the service. And that’s about as secure and private as email gets. The best bet when it comes to email is to avoid free services like Yahoo Mail, Outlook or GMail, which automatically scan all of your incoming and outgoing messages to feed their advertising algorithms. Email service is incredibly cheap. It’s worth paying to avoid all of your messages being data mined. But be sure to read the terms of service of any provider – just because you are paying doesn’t mean they aren’t mining and selling your data.
Something important to keep in mind is that emails that have been stored on a service provider’s servers for more than 180 days may be obtained without a warrant by any governmental entity, according to the provisions of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986. When that law was passed, emails seldom stayed on a service provider’s server for long periods of time, because users would download them from the server to display them on their own computer. In modern times, when most people use a webmail interface and access their email using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), which leaves the messages on the server so that they may be accessed from anywhere, it’s not uncommon for people to have messages stored on their service provider’s servers that are many years old. Those messages are all abandoned property as far as US law is concerned. For that reason, I recommend using a local client to manage your email, and periodically downloading any messages left on your provider’s servers and removing them. Thunderbird is pretty much the standard in this arena, and replicates most of the features to which modern webmail users are accustomed. While I use the leaner Claws Mail, Thunderbird would be the sensible choice for the vast majority of people. Obviously these recommendations would only apply to your personal email. In most cases, your work emails will be required to stay on company servers.
TL;DR: While mainstream messaging services like WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal are end-to-end encrypted, they still violate user privacy in other ways. Consider a decentralized alternative like Jami, or a more privacy-respecting service that doesn’t collect personally identifiable information, like Session. Avoid Discord like poison, but if you must use it, try to keep it sandboxed in an environment like Firejail or Flatpak. Consider using Element instead. Avoid free email services that data mine your messages, and beware that any email left on any provider’s servers for more than 180 days may be obtained by any governmental agency without a warrant under the terms of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986. Consider switching to a local client like Thunderbird to manage your email, and download your message offline before the 180 day snooping provision affects them.
Next, “Part VII: Social Media.”
I remember Pidgin.
I remember putting together a proof of concept IM system using pidgin for work.
It never got rolled out into production, but it worked.
#metoo
And ICQ before that.
Thanks for writing.
I used to use Adium, but haven’t in years.
Sometimes I have to use Discord. Any way to make it more secure on MacOS?
Use a padlock?
Use pig-latin for comments?
MacOS apparently ships with a sandboxing program, but I’m not familiar with it at all. You might try that route. Otherwise, there’s always a VM.
Waddayaknow. I must try this thing.
I miss Adium + the OTR plug-in – end-to-end encryption over multiple protocols.
We retired our internal Jabber server not all that long ago.
Shit, I still want WebEx to be able to notify me when someone comes back from idle.
Don’t open up your messages in any business establishment with a dedicated surveillance department. Those cameras can see a lot more than you think.
And never use public wifi, even with a password provided. Link to your secure phone to use a pc in public. Public wifi is dirty stuff.
Don’t even get me started on WiFi access point semi-spoofing.
HiItonWiFi (Capital eye instead of ell)
Marriot-WiFi (only one tee)
etc
Not worry, I only browse Glibs, watch pr0n, and do my online banking when I’m on the road.
Me too. I like to leave my laptop’s camera uncovered for an extra thrill.
When I’m honeypotted by a generously bosomed Asian chick who likes trying saunas and has already been paid from my account, it will all be worth it.
Sometimes I randomly go on the always open Wednesday Glibzoom link and dance naked, just to keep the deepstate on their toes.
Way to Toobin it, CPRM.
I’m going to take you at your word. I’m sure a guy you know has first hand knowledge of this.
Well, not me, personally. But this guy I know…
I have 20 year old messages in mine. They got a lot of dirt on me.

Thanks, Pat, for keeping our tinfoil-wearing paranoia ramped up to eleven. As well it should be.
In the immortal words of Hunter S. Thompson:
There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment.
I’ll throw a little Joseph Heller on top:
Hmmm..
Goddamit.
We switched to Telegram for our family group chat because there is no fuckery with photos and videos between platforms.
Thanks, Pat. This all sucks for us normies!
If there’s a lot of resistance to switching, just make sure that E2E encryption is enabled in all the clients. If people are receptive to switching, get them on Session.
Just wrap yourself in aluminum foil and throw your devices away.
They’ll never find you.
Goddamit. I can’t do anything right. Every one of these articles has had at least one piece of software I use in the “hell no” column.
Thanks, Pat. I got a lot of fixin’ to do. It’s nice to have these as a fix-it manual.
Knowing is half the battle
Now I want a pork chop sandwich.
A.L.O.L. I got tears in my eyes.
In case you were unaware, that was a super early internet meme video.
I just got don watching all of them. Porkchop Sandwiches was the best.
Very interesting. If I saw them back in the day, I’d forgotten.
I definitely saw them back in the day, but had also forgotten until today. Laughed my ass off like a retard all over again.

I’ll give a shit the next time the government comes after me.
(Hi, Preet!)
Do I remember correctly that The Jacket contacted you about the subpoena?
You remember correctly.
I debated with myself for a while, said “Sure”, and never heard from him again.
Fun times – I had NO idea what this was all about when I first got notified. I thought I was about to lose my job and shit. Because I was stupidly commenting from work.
Another plus for WFH.
Now you’re ALWAYS commenting from work!
It’s funny because it’s true.
Well, sort of.
I don’t touch Glibs with my work machine.
Your (((employers))) have a historical understanding of what it’s like to be politically persecuted. I’m not so sure they would have been quick to fire you.
Yeah, I’ve mentioned that theory before.
They are pretty (((hard-core))), too. There is only the lightest touch of DEI, for example.
That’s why I think you would have been pleasantly surprised.
Heh, that should be a quick one.

Aren’t you cute. Here’s a nickel, kid.
I’m in the same boat, my regular “tabletop” game uses Discord. For being mostly in IT, they care surprisingly little about privacy. Do you know if Discord stores or analyzes the VOIP traffic? I guess if it’s not encrypted, the NSA is analyzing it anyway.
emails that have been stored on a service provider’s servers for more than 180 days may be obtained without a warrant
Piece o’ cake, just store ’em on your email server. /ducks, scuttles away
Their TOS allows for both, although I would assume only a small subset of traffic is stored, given how many users they have.
Trust nobody. Not even yourself.

Well done on the series, Pat! OT as a call-back it seems that it takes three years to even try to get a GP. I’ve been waiting for a long, long time to see a neurologist. I am fading away and yet the GP keeps putting me off for three months at a time. Remember when Sarah Palin was mocked about “Death Panels”? I remember. Pretty bitter crop of of member-berries…
Sorry Festus. My dad went through that when he first got on Medicaid. It was well over a year for his first visit to a neurologist for cervical spinal stenosis, and before he could get referred for surgery the neurologist he was seeing closed up shop and disappeared, as if she’d fled during the night.
Yeah, it’s like a ghost story told by old Grandmas on a stormy night. “Once there were Healers hereabout! Suddenly they vanished like the will-o-the-wisp! Some say it were the King that banished them, others say it were different forces… Go to sleep, Child and dream of better times.”
Sorry Festus. I’ve seen some recent stories about how unbelievably backlogged Canada’s health care system is.
Made an appointment for a diagnostic procedure last week. First available appointment was the end of March. We’re on track to catch up with you.
I should care about security more than I do but I figure why bother? I’m not really into porn, I never shop on-line and the most “dangerous” web-site that I usually visit is this one. I rent a Samsung phone. Google already knows about my proclivities. Dude likes to go to work and buy too much beer.
Does not compute.
” I never shop on-line”
How is that even possible?
Pat all your articles are great. For those of us who have only a thimble full of your technical expertise, are there any off the shelf solutions? Or do I need to invest in the Technology For Dummies series?
All of the software recommended in this installment is pretty much just install-and-go, with the caveats about user experience to keep in mind. There’s no real downside to trying out one or all of them and seeing if they can suit your needs. Even Element is just plug-and-play if you are OK with using a public server/instance (hosting your own is, obviously, a bit more involved, but not necessary). Unfortunately, nearly every major mainstream online service and piece of software has at least some privacy caveats, so there’s always a little bit of leg work involved, even if you’re running a Linux prebuild from System76 or a similar company. Eternal vigilance is the price of

Busy helping the wife choose Chanukah presents?
Ugh, don’t remind me. She’s got the presents down, mostly, but I’m not looking forward to the driving; we’re doing Chanukah at her mom’s on the 23rd then off early on the 24th to my mom’s for Christmas. Then back to MA on… Monday? I dunno.
That’s going to be an ugly drive. Good luck.
Thanks.
I’ve driven 5+ hours straight from Acadia to MA a few times and it’s no big deal.
The 4.5 hours between NY and MA is exhausting because everyone drives like an asshole (except for me, of course). Plus the LIE is usually extra terrible.
Ancestry DNA corroborated a long thought thing, that my mom’s family had eastern european jewish ancestry. Just so happens we’re doing our family Christmas on the first night of Hanukkah this year. Go figure. (around the mid 90s my mom had a small menorah that held like birthday candle sized candles. Whatever. DNA does not faith denote. That’s reserved for MRNA!)

Is they deadnaming them? Not sure how this works. I just think of all the Sweet Lucre Elliot Paige will get every time them’s old movies air and they’s don’t remove the deadname. Sweet Sweet Lucre.
“Sam” is deadname-proof.
Deadnaming isn’t about calling them by a wrong gendered name, it’s about not calling them their new preferred name. Lots of examples of folx with non gender defined names none the less demanding they get called by their new name that they chose.
Once upon a time it was considered perfectly acceptable to produce a Hollywood comedy based on the gender-neutral nature of my name.

Can confirm. Years ago, my first-floor apartment was burglarized while I was away at an evening event. The next day, I went around outside to examine the broken window and found on the ground the burglar’s “calling card” – some piece of court paperwork, maybe a “notice to appear” (which may even have mentioned “criminal conversion of property.” Don’t remember for certain – it was a long time ago) which, of course, had a name on it. I dutifully turned it over to the cops and never heard a peep more about it. 😒

I’m pretty I’m under constant surveillance due to my job, but it wouldn’t hurt to try some of these alternatives for personal use.
Back in the day, though, they told us anyone with clearance should not even use Tor because it would be a red flag that we were trying to hide something. We also were prohibited from going on Wikileaks at work and were strongly advised not to do so at home.
We were told “wikileaks” was classified stuff and even looking at it would put our jobs in jeopardy.
Of course this is the same outfit that said even “top secret” folder covers were classified. Then pointed out google image search had lots of pics of them.

My working assumption is that all my online communications are available to various third parties. I don’t like it, and avoid social media (except this here site). I will not use online banking services nor will I ever use a debit card, that is just asking for trouble.
You have a DOE clearance, right? They like to fill your head with all kinds of nonsense like that so you’ll self-restrain. I highly doubt they conduct any kind of offjob snooping, they can barely keep up with the at the job stuff. Just don’t do stuff that leaves an unambiguous trail, ie texts, emails, DMs, etc.
And not to insult your intelligence but don’t ever use the job issued computers or phones for anything like that. That’s where they nab (stupid) people.
