@thisismissem Looking at "Search Engines" kind of shows the problem though: Out of 6 alternatives, 4 are just frontends for Bing, 1 is a frontend for Google, and 1 "combines search results from other providers".

@aud Signal is a US organisation with servers in the US and operating under US wiretapping laws and officially only works on US-controlled operating systems. It's a lot better than Facebook messenger and certainly better than fediverse DMs (where's that E2E encryption AP extension?), but I think taking their word for what is accessible the US security state is naive in the extreme.

@julian @angusmcleod Is there any particular reason why you're not organising under the existing W3C working groups but instead are working to form yet another one?
