@jaz @benpate I don't understand who you are talking about. IFTAS, SWF, cosocial.ca, Emissary, toot.wales, Mastodon? Also using technology from that company, or preserving privacy from that company?
I think users should use E2EE messaging for as many conversations as they can. Using encryption technology that is open source, reviewed by security pros, and based on open standards is the best.

@jaz @benpate my question was in particular about operating a server. I think there's a higher level of trust between users and server operators when there's a real-world relationship, like a business, household, non-profit or club.

@evan @benpate I'm suggesting that a company, any company, whose privacy policy states "if this server is in jurisdiction X then certain things apply, but if not, then maybe something else" /and/ does not provide a terms of service, whosoever that company may be, they would not be my first choice for trusting them with my highly-sensitive messages, and nor would the software they may have created and distributed to keep those messages safe.
