No thank you - we already face enough racism in the USA. We don't want to deal with something that's 4 times as bad.

I have been using Jellyfin for two years now. I am yet another happy user with no issues. I am happy that all my data is secure and there is nothing shady to happen.

It was not surprising when Plex had a huge investment coming from VCs who might as well just be connected to the movie industry and Hollywood as a whole, when they committed the act of banning Hetzner and all of their data centers.

They also had slowly become just another low quality streaming service like Tubi or IMDb with really low quality content being pushed down onto the homepage and actually keeping your own media hidden somewhere in the submenus. With their updates they threw the entire UX upside down.

Plex has the most mature platform to be frank. But I am happy I jumped ship as soon as I saw their predatory practices. They are not going to stop.

Every message we send via this service still most likely goes through it's bots that try to gather user context.

I'm guessing there will be some tricky legal wording in their T&C that wouldn't rule them out from being an intermediate entity that can see messages.

Yes. Exactly. The company wanted to be "modern" in terms of tech stack and they kept getting buried in the thought that using serverless would keep them cool. The PM was also close friends with the CEO so everyone blindly nods to him.

It will be so foolish of anyone to think that WhatsApp is a truly e2e encrypted messaging platform.
