Rich Communication Services (RCS) was introduced as a successor to traditional SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), promising a modern, feature-rich messaging experience that can rival popular apps like iMessage, WhatsApp, and Messenger

#RCS #Android #iPhone

The GSM Association, the governing body that oversees the development of the Rich Communications Services (RCS) protocol, on Tuesday, said it's working towards implementing end-to-end encryption (E2EE) to secure messages sent between the Android and iOS ecosystems.

Discord seems to have thought long and hard about the encryption protocol they want to use called DAVE protocol

If you’re interested in learning more, Discord has posted a whitepaper about its DAVE protocol on GitHub that you can check out.

Meanwhile: #Discord

Discord is one of the messenger platforms that never quite felt the need to introduce encryption, at least until now.

Discord encryption seems to be only available for audio and video calls for now. According to Discord, messages will continue to follow their content moderation approach.

@artemis that i couldn't answer - I'd like to think there was, I'd assume there was also, and it will be ongoing for teachers to keep up-to-date on things - especially surrounding tech like AI and misinformation etc.....

@LiberalLibrarian

fundamental problem is that these supposedly evaporating messages are still being sent to platforms that shouldn't be getting them

¯\(°_o)/¯

i wouldn't trust any service that claims self destruct msgs will actually self destruct and be gone forever from everywhere..... Especially not Meta 😂

@llondel yeah, i had seen they rumours

And apparently the batteries were used as the detonator - the pagers were intercepted and small amount of explosive put inside along with a mini trigger with batteries as detonator

#Meta #WhatsApp

last week security flaw finders at cryptowallet startup Zengo went public with ways to revive seemingly self-destructed View Once material.

https://zengo.com/whatsapps-view-once-privacy-issue/

Essentially, the API servers treated View Once messages as normal messages but with a flag on them saying: Please only show this once. A rogue app able to talk to those servers could just ignore that request.

Zengo used Meta's bug bounty program in August to report the security weakness to WhatsApp....

@artemis 👍

there was some backlash when this was started because of an over assessment thingy that some thought was to much

After a few tweaks here and there it is looking better and fit for purpose
