The SEC has requested access to the correspondence of Ripple employees in Slack

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) The United States has appealed to the court with a request to grant the regulator access to the correspondence of Ripple employees in the Slack messenger. According to the regulator, the company's employees communicated in Slack as often as by email. Therefore, Ripple must provide the SEC with "more than a million messages including terabytes of data." The petition states that at the beginning of the trial, the defendants agreed to provide this information to the SEC, but only transferred 1,468 messages. The latter, according to the SEC, contained "critical and unique" data.

Here is another case confirming that the situation is becoming critical and there can be no question of any data security.
What if I use more secure applications? For example, Utopia p2p. Its developers support the idea of data security and anonymity, so all data is stored in a cryptographic container only on the user's PC.
What do you think?

 

Just because of such cases, alt-tech projects are gaining their popularity nowadays. But most of them are just like alternatives to Twitter or YouTube and none like Utopia, which unites several functions in one app. As I've found, it appeared in 2018 and for some reason didn't gain it popularity till now. More people should now about it if they care about freedom of speech, anonymity and data safety.

 

Hmm, this looks like a good opportunity to preserve your freedom of speech and data security. However, do not forget that until now, unfortunately, many applications are considered malicious, for no apparent reason. Therefore, there is always a risk that your friends will refuse to use it.
