Social Networking Privacy Guide:

Many social media platforms have been using their proprietary encryption methods (called 'Standard Encryption') that they can decrypt to understand and read the messages you send out through them. This only leaves them with the ability to filter and customise the information sent out through their service. It, in turn, causes privacy issues as they are not only trying to protect themselves but also some of their customers' privacy.

Privacy tools and services listed on this page are all open-source unless marked otherwise: Criteria.
