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

Quality over Quantity

We're trying to keep it simple and promote the best tools, not all of them.

Software Criteria

Main

  • Easy to use. Could your mother use that tool or service? Usability is most important.
  • Cross-platform / Accessible.
  • Privacy respecting.
  • Open Source / Free Software is preferred but not required.
  • Prioritize Products without Vendor Lock-in (decentralized/self-hostable) or data interoperability.

There can be exceptions if no software is available that meet the criteria.

Note: This criteria applies to all of privacytools.io

Providers

  • Prioritize Products by privacy respecting nationality.

DNS

  • Supports DoH or DoT (We love DNSCrypt, but there is already https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-resolvers which is directly supported by dnscrypt-proxy, so we don't consider useful to list providers only supporting it).
  • Supports DNSSEC (https://dnssec.vs.uni-due.de/ can test your current DNS provider).
  • Doesn't log IP addresses during normal operation (If your suggestion logs, please compare its privacy policy with other servers on our table that keep logs).
  • Preferably supports QNAME minimization (if you have access to the dig command, dig +short txt qnamemintest.internet.nl or Resolve-DnsName -Type TXT -Name qnamemintest.internet.nl if you are on Windows 10)

VPN

See https://www.privacytools.io/providers/vpn/#criteria for more details.

  • Prioritize Products by privacy respecting nationality.
  • Cannot be based in USA or UK.
  • Must be accessible via Open Source Software (e.g. OpenVPN, WireGuard)

  • Accept Cryptocurrency
  • No logging policy

Email

  • Outside of USA
  • Support SMTP SSL
  • Accessible Using Open Source Software (e.g. allows IMAP)

Hardware

  • Cannot lock users to a particular platform.

Software

  • Must be Open Source Software

Encryption

  • Only verifiable encryption is to be trusted
