i.e. is used for equivalence or clarification while e.g. is for
examples. For instance, we shouldn't say that IMAP is equivalent or an
explanation to all open-source software used to access email (e.g.
there's POP3, open-source clients to access when there isn't IMAP such
as Tutanota, etc.).
We also shouldn't call IMAP open-source software since it's a protocol.
* Change "socially motivated
* Apply suggestions from code review
Co-Authored-By: Jonah Aragon <jonah@triplebit.net>
* Suggestion from code review with extras
* 'Kill switch' to 'Killswitch"
* Consistency and minor additions to details
- More parallel sentence structures, following <Name> <Verb phrase>
for the first sentence of cards. Related to issue #1420.
- Make Njalla parallel to the others, and mention Njalla
is based in Nevis with VPS in Sweden
- Don't use "us" when talking about external services
- Orange Website also provides domain registration
- Update capitalization and add more hyphens
- Mention that TOS;DR evaluations are done by the community and that
they also evaluate privacy policies (see https://edit.tosdr.org/about)
- "E2EE encryption" is redundant since "E2EE" already has "encryption"
in it. Might as well expand it since full term is used later on.
- <Name> <Verb phrase> structure for Magic Wormhole
- For consistency, don't start Worth Mentioning entries with the name
- https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/27707/post-hyphenation-of-split-compound-words
- All the other "alert alert-warning" don't repeat the generic name and
we also don't say 'a software'
* instant-messenger: Remove <em>, more cleanup
* voice-video-messenger: Hyphens and cleanup
- We don't say "a software" so replace it with something that works
* paste-services: Cleanup & change cryptography info
As per CryptPad's whitepaper and FAQ:

< p class = "card-text text-danger" > Even when using end-to-end encryption technology like GPG, email is inherently insecure and should not be trusted for sensitive communications. Metadata is always communicated in plaintext, and even when encryption is used correctly it is very easy for either party to accidentally respond to or forward a previously encrypted message in plaintext in many clients. GPG also does not easily support modern crypto functionality such as key rotation and forward secrecy.< / p >
