I’m using the same gmail (as recovery email) that i’m using in youtube and instagram. I was talking to someone using conversations about removing ads from smart tv, and when i logged to youtube after, found a vid about it. This was the second time, the first time was instagram, similair thing.
Update: I replaced my recovery email with proton and Big AND, deleted knox matrxi. No more suggestions. I think it was knox matrix.
All data you upload to Google is subject to be searched and processed by them, whether you uploaded it intentionally or not.
Fuck, i’m a fucking idiot. Do u know any messaging app that uses a server and doesn’t share shit?
Anything that’s fully end-to-end encrypted and trustworthy. So, Signal, iMessage, and ProtonMail (but only to other ProtonMail users) come to mind. WhatsApp and Telegram are supposedly E2EE, but I don’t trust them.
WhatsApp is definitely E2EE, however they can still collect the metadata. For Telegram I think it’s not even encrypted by default.
Edit: sometimes I should just learn to shut up

PM is automayically E2EE too if the recepient’s server supports WKD or has uploaded their pubkey to keys.openpgp.org.
Ah, ok. That’s good to know. :)
Yeah but i thought that if I put my gmail as a recovery email in conversations it will be used as a fucking recovery email, not to share messaging infos
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Conversations is just a client, right? So if your server or your friend’s server is run by or backed by Google, they have the messages.
XMPP is not end to end encrypted, so whatever server you use, unless you own it, will have access to your messages. If that’s something you’re not comfortable with, you can run your own server or use an E2EE messenger.
Yep true
