I made a spreadsheet that ranks messengers for privacy (privacyspreadsheet.com)

I've been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.

I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on GitHub.

Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.

They purposefully removed perfect forward secrecy, which is an important part of preventing future compromise in the chain of messages.

They explained this, and why it doesn't weaken the stack.

This opinionated ruling about "no PFS,no secure" is questionable judgement
