WhatsApp data leak: 500M user records for sale
Signal uses SGX for remote attestation, which presumably lets the client verify that the code running on the server is a build of the OSS code and not a modified version. But I don't know the details or if this is reliable.
SGX and remote attestation described here:

Types of Execution Environments, Attestation and SGX
TEEs have numerous privacy-enhancing applications that may benefit users. One of them is, as discussed earlier, private contact discovery; the Signal application uses a contact discovery service enhanced using Intel SGX, a TEE technology, to protect its users' privacy. A similar application of TEEs is performing malware analysis in a remote cloud service, so that the service may not identify users by the contents of their devices, such as the applications they have installed, especially important as 98.93% of users may be uniquely identified by the list of applications they have installed.

Twilio Incident: What Signal Users Need to Know
Signal (or, more accurately, one of its predecessors) used to use client-side private set intersection for contact discovery, but this scales poorly [1].
Now they use a solution based on Intel SGX and server-side trusted computing [2].

Starry Night
What if there was a language we could speak in at the speed of light, with no distortion? As Ho notes, thermodynamics was based on the anaerobic view of the universe, where heat energy transforms into mechanical work, but "the predominant energy transductions in the living system are instead, electronic, electric and electromagnetic, as consistent with the primary energy source on which life depends as well as the electromagnetic nature of all molecular and intermolecular forces." Humans evolved from using fire to electricity for heat, just as the world evolved from thermophilic single-celled organisms to algae that ate light and paved the way for human evolution, just as human thought evolved from a heat-based thermodynamics to an electro-quantum one.

What's the status and progress of decentralized social media?
I have waiting for about a year for Lens Protocol to become available to everyone and official, but the news hasn't yet come. In Ethereum's website, it recommends other decentralized social networks too like Status.im, Mirror.xyz, and even talks about Twitter. What's the progress happening in the field, and which one is going to become popular in your opinion? Has any of them become popular among users who are already using it?
