I've been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.

I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on GitHub.

Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.

Really cool, but could you maybe use commments for the first column huge cells?

It would be great 8f you could make a simpler table that's easier to parse, just to get a quick overview of how each platform stacks up

fed it to gpt:

Briar and Cwtch stand out as recommended for private communication, both featuring end-to-end encryption by default, utilization of Perfect Forward Secrecy, and encryption at rest on both server and client sides. They are also decentralized and not dependent on DNS, which enhances privacy and security.
