And on the topic of privacy and iPhone: what you can do to protect yourself from attacks: https://blog.duple.io/how-i-can-hack-your-phone/
... and as a EU project private alternative to the likes of Dropbox, there's Duple, an app that gives you your full private Dropbox at home. Self-hosted, E2EE, and works just like a Dropbox (currently in beta): https://www.duple.io/en/
Welcome, Signal
Sometimes you just feel like using Signal instead

-Use a private cloud, so that your data is in your control.

We've actually developed a self-hosted private cloud solution as a substitute to Dropbox for exactly these reasons. Basically a private Dropbox at home (no complicated installation and no server needed)

We're currently in beta, could interest a few in this thread! https://www.duple.io/en/

The point is to have a product that works just like a Dropbox, as simple and straightforward, but that is actually private with no one interfering, playing, accessing or reading your data.

Digital privacy / security. People and companies are becoming more and more privacy aware/conscious/concerned. All the scandals (e.g. data breaches, targeted advertising, selling of user data) and new regulations such as GDPR are only increasing the need and demand for privacy
Agreed. We also need to make out of the box private tools that anyone can use. Step by step!
