		sneak on Sept 11, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: WhatsApp – Security of End-to-End Encrypted Backup... I deleted my Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram accounts, as well as iMessage/iCloud (same issue, unencrypted backups). I am only reachable via email and Signal. I got my contacts to switch to Signal.

How does that solve the problem you mentioned? People on other side still may not be careful with mail/signal data privacy.

Mail is beyond redemption, but Signal for example only offers encrypted local backups and no cloud backups.
