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: https://cryptpad.fr/faq.html#security-crypto https://blog.cryptpad.fr/images/CryptPad-Whitepaper-v1.0.pdf Fixes #1417. * encryption: "open-source" * Page descriptions and other cleanup
