@[email protected] One reason for “Telcos cannot be trusted” is being forced to assist lawful interceptions. And back in the days where SMS has been frequently been used on the SS7 protocol via UCP and SMPP, every hop could read everything in plaintext (still today). However, e2ee with vendor pre-generated keys (e.g. IMessage) isn’t really better - you can never be sure that not somehow an additional key for encryption got created. People may now say use opensource and right, this might be better…

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] snac is great, small, fs only, easy to build, easy to run, easy to backup and even runs without issues on slow hardware or even untypical hardware. I compiled it for RISC-V where it easily runs on my VisionFive board.
