I'm an electronic engineer from Brazil passionate about technology, free software, open standards and knowledge sharing. I love traveling, meeting new people and learning about their cultures as well. For on-line conversation, I care about my privacy and the one who is talking with me. On these web pages bellow you can find some of the reasons why I prefer not using Skype, Hangout, Facebook, Whatsapp or anything that doesn't respect our privacy. Please, don't fool yourself, these services are not free. We pay dearly when we give up our privacy and allow them to spy on our daily habits. https://stallman.org/skype.html https://www.trustwave.com/Resources/SpiderLabs-Blog/A-Backdoor-in-Skype-for-Mac-OS-X/?page=1&year=0&month=0 https://thetinhat.com/blog/2015/02/10/reasons-against-using-skype-surveillance.html http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/jul/27/skype-encyption-methods-police-access http://akademie.dw.de/digitalsafety/what-are-the-risks-of-using-skype-facebook-whatsapp-and-co/ http://www.computerworld.com/article/2543670/networking/how-dangerous-is-skype-.html https://www.comparitech.com/blog/information-security/is-skype-safe-and-secure-what-are-the-alternatives/ Because some of those reasons, I'd rather use other alternatives like: Jitsi Meet - https://meet.jit.si/ - You just need using a web browser that supports WebRTC, like Firefox or Google Chrome. Jitsi - https://jitsi.org/ - All the information here: https://securityinabox.org/en/guide/jitsi/windows/ Or any other alternative that doesn't spy our lives, just tells me which you prefer. Don't worry if you don't know any of them, I'll be happy to guide you how to use it. ATTENTION: Please, if you don't want to use an application other than Skype, I totally understand and respect your choice. But, please, you don't need to block me. As you can see from my twitter account @mgsantana, I'm not some kind of crazy or sexually oriented maniac looking for relationships or some things like that.
