For some reason I’m not surprised to see Meta on the bottom…🤦🏻♀️
Feels like a lot of unnecessary things were taken into consideration?
Also, how is user control and consent measured? Like is Telegram worse at asking for consent to share data, and user control over data? But I thought they were at least similar to facebook.
Also, why is user friendliness taken into the scale?
Interesting data, but very hard to grasp what the different values are linked to. Also, using a stacked bar chart to visually add dimensions that are not directly linked is… debatable.
How does anything tracked in this graph increase privacy risk? This makes no sense
makes sense to see reddit on top while being on reddit, must be made by the new reddit intern
There is no real explanation of the metrics they’re ranking, or any reason for us to agree with them.
Just for an example…
The very first thing I’d look at in anything I’d be messaging over is whether it’s end-to-end encrypted. Discord at number 2 is not, while WhatsApp at number 8 is. As far as I can see, it’s not even a metric.
And is WhatsApp even social media?
And what Transgressions are they referring to? LinkedIn leaked everyone’s emails and password, yet has less in the way of transgressions than Twitter?
I’m surprised Discord is so high up there! I thought I remembered a series of scandals about the fact that it wasn’t protecting user data to a sufficient degree… did I make that up? 😅
Edit: no, I did not. Here is one of many videos about it:
