Have CNN blocked. Can you post a link to a trusted, objective source?

Thank you.

The move aligns with EU's push for service interoperability under the Digital Markets Act.

Pro tip: install Session | Send Messages, Not Metadata. | Private Messenger

Wouldn't a VPN do the same thing?

you're so weird

Nope. All messaging apps except Session use your phone number as an identifier (amongst others) and send metadata.

A VPN serves a completely different function.

If a messaging app requires your phone number upon signing up, you're being tracked. Period.

I check the early reviews on Session. Still a bit buggy resulting in less than attractive ratings. Something to keep an eye on.

It's the only app in the world that sends messages in true 256-bit encryption with zero identifiers or metadata. "A little buggy" is of zero concern to me in the face of Meta/Whatsapp and Apple tracking.

I need them to allow imessage on a windows PC. It's the one thing I really miss about having an apple laptop -- imessage on the computer.
