A few years back, many social media platforms were found guilty of selling user data to interested parties, and as such, committed a direct invasion of the privacy of millions of users worldwide. No one knows how this data was used, but we can safely say that these social media brands opened Pandora’s box and they had to find a way to shut it.
The solution we have now is something brands like to call “End to End Encryption“. This means that when you are on a call with someone on a platform like Google Duo, the data and information and any other content related to the call is purely localized to just the participants of the call. The parent company will have no access to this, thus ensuring a level of privacy and security on the app.
Google Duo is a very popular voice and video calling app and is considered to be the only real competition to Apple’s Facetime app.
