SimpleX wins at 88 points if you stop punishing it for dodgingpossible privacy/security issues such as:

Do you get notified if a contact's fingerprint changes?

Is personal information (mobile number, contact list, etc.) hashed?

Are messages encrypted when backed up to the cloud?

All of which are N/A therefore are given a white background and not green. This site wasn't setup for an arbitrary points system.

Also

Directory service could be modified to enable a MITM attack?

There is no directory service for discovering contacts, SimpleX hosts a public group directory and it could MITK those, but that's a separate service not included in the app.. in my opinion it should get another 3 points.

I disagree that Google Messages doesn't use a directory service as phone numbers are the directory service, and the carriers could definitely MITM as they control the phone numbers.

And why does 🟩 = 3 points instead of 2? It just makes the difference seem larger and has no real value.
