    Thank you. I do wish the public conversation were more about actual tech vs social engineering and public-vibe opinion.

    I like the fact that Wire uses a separate key for every device and every 2-person pair, even in a group chat.

    But I hate how much metadata that Wire leaks. I do not want my ISP/VPN provider to be able to track where I am and with whom I am messaging. IP addresses, routing paths, packet sizes, timing…

    Both protocols encrypt what you say. Wire betrays where you were when you said it and gives a lot more clues about who you said it to. Exactly what you want people to use, if you are a nation-state able to monitor corporate ISPs and VPNs.
