Great piece! I really like how you turn “privacy” from an abstract virtue into concrete communication choices people can actually adopt. The framing around threat models and everyday trade-offs is especially useful, because it avoids both paranoia and complacency. It also reads like a practical field guide: clear, specific, and grounded in real behavior rather than slogans.
Quick question: what’s your take on Zangi as a messenger from a security perspective – would you consider it a credible option for sensitive conversations, and under what assumptions?
Please tell me what you think about MySQIF "quantum-proof" polymorphic encryption: https://mysqif.com/
MySQIF was offering $20,000 to anyone who could read their files, no one seems to have claimed the prize. They say it would take a quantum computer about three iterations of the universe to crack it.
This innovation is from Michael McKibben, the guy who invented social networking. Facebook admitted in court that they stole IP from seven Leader Technologies patents to form the basis of their platform. They said Leader had offered these products for sale and therefore the patents were void. Leader showed the court that every EOI they had signed had a "non-reliance" clause, meaning nothing in the document could be used contractually and nothing was for sale. The court ignored this evidence.
McKibben is the CEO of Leader Technologies, he's done several interviews on the FB theft. Leader Technologies is still suing Meta for trillions. They are deadly serious, they want to put the money into a massive open journalism platform. Substack: be aware.
Interesting fact: Michael McKibben's son Max was a few doors down from Mark Zuckerberg at college. Max had the entire basic architecture of the social network saved down on the Harvard server the infamous night that Zuckerberg hacked it.

Haven't done research on it, so not sure.
AFAIK the most trusted messenger is Signal at the moment due to it's orgs nature of setup being backed by nonprofit.
Thanks, Saqib )
I haven’t heard about “zangi” as well, will try to research on it and see if it’s something good.
another banger by SK Nexus. really, one of the best substacks on user privacy out there. Definitely worth a read. particularly good section on habits!
Thanks a ton for the shout my friends! =)
